Gargantuar Bronzes, consisting of Han Bronze (大汉铜人; pinyin: Dàhàn tóng rén), Xiake Bronze (侠客铜人; pinyin: Xiákè tóng rén), and Qigong Bronze (气功铜人; pinyin: Qìgōng tóng rén), are the Gargantuar variants seen in Kongfu World. On all levels in which they appear, except in the final level and in Endless Challenge, they start as bronze statues which slowly come to life after a timer expires. Before the timer expires, the player can destroy the harmless bronze statues to destroy the Gargantuar Bronze in it. Unlike most Gargantuars, they do not carry an Imp, and they also possess special abilities other than instantly crushing plants.

They have a total of more than twice the health points of a regular Gargantuar and it takes four instant kills to defeat them, both in their statue or freed form. Each Bronze Gargantuar also has special abilities: the Han Bronze can speed up and gets a 70% damage reduction when almost defeated, the Xiake Bronze can occasionally change lanes (mainly targeting the least defended lane) and the Qigong Bronze can occasionally pull plants like Qigong Zombie as well as summon other zombies. Due to their incredible high health, they are given a speed slower than Jurassic Gargantuar.

Strategies

Most of the time, you will not be able to destroy every statue in time. If a Gargantuar Bronze breaks out, make your strategy depending on which type of Gargantuar Bronze it is. For Han Bronze, treat it like a normal Gargantuar with significantly higher health. Do note that Han Bronzes accelerate significantly at low health, so try to not let them get to the first column while they are still alive. The other two are very problematic with their abilities. As Xiake Bronze can occasionally change lanes (note that it still moves forward while being in the sky when changing lanes), be sure to set up your defenses on every lane when this Gargantuar Bronze breaks out, and stall it as much as possible while it is still on the ground. For Qigong Zombie, he can summon any other non-boss zombie from Kongfu World, make sure to have as many counters for other unique, dangerous Kongfu World zombies as possible in lanes near it, especially Torch Kongfu Zombies, Exploding Zombies, Drinking Zombies, Swordsman Zombies, etc. Either attack this Bronze Gargantuar from far away with a Radish in the front to prevent its qigong skill from breaking your defenses while dealing with other zombies, or continuously plant and replace plants while stalling it as much as possible if no Radishes are given or they are the only zombies left.

Trivia

• Although Han Bronze's and Xiake Bronze's speeds are listed as Hungry, they are as slow as Qigong Bronze, which has Creeper speed listed in its Almanac entry.
  • It is unknown if it was intended for the speeds to be the same as a Hungry zombie for Han Bronze and Xiake Bronze, or if the Almanac entry is incorrect and they were all supposed to be that of a Stiff zombie.
• Since these particular Gargantuars have twice the health of a normal one, they can be equated to the Giga-gargantuar from Plants vs. Zombies. Much like the Giga-gargantuar, they must take four instant kills before dying. However, unlike the Giga-gargantuar, they move slower.
• These particular Gargantuars are the only variants to have an exclusive mini-game dedicated to them.
• Qigong Bronze pulls plants to the right, just like Qigong Zombie, hence its name. It also summons zombies from the ground, similar to Zombot Dark Dragon, Zombot Sharktronic Sub, Gunpowder Devil, and Blade-Wielding Hero.
• The fact that they come out of bronze statues may be a reference to the Terracotta Army.
• When a Gargantuar Bronze is about to use its abilities and a Spikerock is attacking it, the Gargantuar will not attack the Spikerock and simply walks over it.
• Except for Qigong Bronze, both of their Almanac descriptions and flavor texts are references to their abilities and moves in-game.
• All of the Gargantuar Bronzes can be eaten by Snap Pea, unlike any other Gargantuar. This might be for balancing reasons.
• Han Bronze is the only non-boss zombie at Level 1 in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2 that can survive a Tactical Cuke.
• They are the slowest gargantuars, being the only ones at creeper speed, which is slower than Jurassic Gargantuar, at stiff speed.
• Since they contain no Imp, their burn sprite does not have an Imp.
• Using a Thyme Warp after Han Bronze becoming brute will create a full health Han Bronze with speed increase and damage reduction.
• If every Bronze Statue is destroyed on a level before an Gargantuar comes out, every other zombie later in the level will die.
• Unlike with other Gargantuar variants, it’s possible for them to be dragged into the abyss by Abyss Anemone.
