In English: Giga-gargantuar
Giga-gargantuar is a gigantic zombie He is the overlord in the zombie base camp, and even his own people will avoid him and make a detour. |
Overview[]
The Giga-gargantuar has double the health of a regular Gargantuar. It absorbs 6000 damage and its appearance changes upon absorbing 2000 and 4000 damage before being defeated after absorbing 6000 damage or four instant kills. The Giga-gargantuar tosses its Imp once he takes 3000 damage or hit by two instant kills.
Strategies[]
It has double health of a regular Gargantuar, allowing it to absorb 6000 damage or four instant kills. You should try to select as many instant kills, such as the Cherry Bomb, Jalapeno, Squash, and Doom-shroom with a Coffee Bean, as you can. The Cob Cannon is also a good plant to have in your arsenal.
After two instant kills or 3000 damage, it will hurl an Imp into your defenses, unless it is already halfway into your lawn. Sometimes, a Giga-gargantuar will appear before a normal Gargantuar appears, depends to the chances of zombie weights (Gargantuar has 1500 chances, and Giga-gargantuar has 6000). The Imp however, can be very destructive if you control Cob Cannons, as they cannot be protected by Pumpkin.
Just like its usual variant, though unconventional, one approach is to use Puff-shroom, Imitater Puff-shroom and Winter Melons. By placing a Puff-shroom in front of a slowed Giga-gargantuar, and immediately placing an Imitater Puff-shroom once the previous one is destroyed. This strategy is great because although the Puff-shrooms does not directly damage the Giga-gargantuar, it will leaves plenty of time for your other plants to take it down, for zero cost, while the Gargantuar can't easily break through. Thus it is best employed when you have fully built an effective and sustainable strategy where no more plants is need to add anything to your defense. Also, you can place a Spikerock in front of the Giga-gargantuar, which will stall it for sometime, also alowing you to do other things while your plants attack it.

Trivia[]
- If it gets defeated by an explosive plants (excluding Potato Mine), its burnt animation will have white eyes rather than red eyes.
- This is because it reuses the burnt animation of the regular Gargantuar.
- It appears in all versions of Last Stand: Endless in Plants vs. Zombies FREE.
- If the player manages to hack the game to show its Almanac entry, there will be no description of it, since the description does not exist in LawnStrings.txt and the player isn't supposed to be able to see it in the Almanac.
- However, the player can create a description of it by modifying LawnStrings.txt to add its Almanac entry.
- It is unavailable in Versus Mode, in normal circumstances. It is because it has higher health than any other zombie and it will be too easy for the player to win.
- It can be noted that the Giga-Gargantuar's head is bigger than a normal Gargantuar's.
- There is a glitch in Plants vs. Zombies FREE during Last Stand: Endless. If a player kills a Giga-Gargantuar and the level ends, the body will remain until the next time the player returns to the lawn. In a normal level, the body will vanish. Sometimes the Giga will walk forward (complete with Imp) for a few paces before vanishing)
- There was another glitch in Plants vs. Zombies FREE where Giga-Gargantutars would have infinite health and could only be defeated by using a lawn mower. It was patched after the paid versions of Plants vs. Zombies were removed. (Version 1.1.41)
- It's the strongest zombie to appear on a normal level, as well as the strongest zombie (only) to appear in Survival & Last Stand: Endless.
- It is the only normal zombie in the game to have a different eye color.
- If the player hacks to see his almanac entry, he is referred to as Redeyed Gargantuar instead.
- As you can see in the Survival icon of Plants vs. Zombies: Social Edition, Giga-Gargantuar is using a cigar like Sheriff Gargantuar
- Giga-gargantuar, Gargantuar, and Dr. Zomboss are the only zombies that when defeated, their fellow zombies are also defeated (Gargantuar/Giga-gargantuar are defeated with the Imp will make the Imp sink into the trash can and vanishes, while if Dr. Zomboss is defeated, zombies that are on-screen will despawn).
- This is because the game considers a Giga-gargantuar with an Imp as a single unit thus when a when a controlling zombie (Giga-gargantuar) dies with its associated zombie (Imp), its Imp will also be defeated (sink into the trash can and vanishes). Same also goes for the Gargantuar.
