Jurassic Gargantuar


 * For other uses, see Gargantuar (disambiguation).

Jurassic Gargantuar is a Gargantuar variant appearing in Jurassic Marsh. Compared to normal Gargantuars, Jurassic Gargantuar is significantly tougher, capable of absorbing up to 270 normal damage shots worth of damage before dying, which makes him become the Gargantuar variant with highest health in Plants vs. Zombies 2. On the other hand, Jurassic Gargantuar moves much more slowly, giving the plants more time to attack before he can reach them.

Jurassic Gargantuar wonders how there can be zombies millions of years before the advent of humanity. He doesn't let it get in the way of his plant-bashing, however.

Overview
Jurassic Gargantuar absorbs 270 normal damage shots, and he does not degrade. He launches his Jurassic Imp at 135 normal damage shots.

Appearances
Jurassic Marsh: Days 12, 14, 15, 16, 19, 20, 29, 32 and La Brainsa Tarpits

Strategies
While Jurassic Gargantuar is significantly tougher than the average Gargantuar, its slower movement speed means that normal offensive plants will have no more problem fighting him compared to other variants. The trouble arises however when the player decides to use instant plants: Up to three Cherry Bombs are required to defeat Jurassic Gargantuar, therefore even the use of Imitater will not prevent him from throwing his Jurassic Imp.

Ultimately, any strategies that worked with normal Gargantuars should also apply to Jurassic Gargantuars: Instant plants can quickly whittle him down, while slowing and stunning plants can give the defense more attacking time. Perfume-shroom can also be used charm a raptor, allowing it to instantly kill Jurassic Gargantuar by kicking him off the lawn.

Trivia

 * Jurassic Gargantuar and Pharaoh Zombie are the only zombies excluding Zombots, that can survive an attack from Electric Blueberry.
 * However, in both instances, Electric Blueberry's cloud will strike them once like normal, and then strike a second time to defeat them.
