Gladiator Gargantuar is a Gargantuar variant encountered in Penny's Pursuit. The Gladiator Gargantuar has various differences from other world-based Gargantuars, having the ability to throw a Roman Imp, which drops a net on a plant once he lands, disabling the targeted plant for the next 10 seconds. His helmet also provides extra health, and he is significantly slower than other Gargantuars. He and Jurassic Gargantuar are tied as the strongest Gargantuar variants in Plants vs. Zombies 2 in terms of health.

Strategies[]
Gladiator Gargantuar is a very dangerous zombie that can easily mess up your defenses. Not only does he have a net, but also throws a Roman Imp that has more health than other Imps. The icing on the cake is that as long as he managed to throw the imp, the net will entangle a plant regardless if the imp is blown away or not.
Try to select strong plants when you encounter him. You can try to stall him as much as you can with plants such as Gumnut and Primal Wall-nut, which can easily stall him. If he appears in a level where there are no Healer Zombies, try hypnotizing him with Caulipower or Hypno-shroom. This is not as easy when Healer Zombies appear since they can remove hypnosis effects, but seeing as Healers are frail, you can use instant kills. Another trick is to use certain plants that causes zombies to become briefly airborne, such as Primal Peashooter, and Blover to kill him instantly.
Bombard-mint and her family contain a wide array of instants that can kill him in 2-3 hits, though these will have to be used wisely to prevent him from throwing the Imp. Another way to easily defeat him is by shrinking him, which prevents him from throwing the Imp and weakens him enough that a Squash is sufficient.
Avoid doing Spicy or Extra Hot difficulty if you have weak plants in Penny's Pursuit since like any other zombie, his health increases with difficulty, eventually skyrocketing beyond belief.
