Gargantuan is a Witch Doctor skill unlocked at level 14. It summons a large zombie to fight for the Witch Doctor. This skill has never been demonstrated, so nothing is known about what sort of zombie it summons.

Background

Diablo III Active Skill [e]

Gargantuan
Used by:	Witch Doctor
Enabled at:	Clvl 14
Skill Description
Summon a large level X zombie follower to fight for you.
Type:	Summon
Resource Use:	Costs Mana
Skill Rune Effects

The Witch Doctor summons forth a huge lumbering gargantuan to do his bidding.

Skill Design

It is unknown how the Gargantuan looks like, or what exactly his role is. We do know he is a big undead monster and either hits very well or is a good tanker. It wouldn't be surprising if this were a pet version of the Unburied or one of the other grotesque demons.

Skill Rank Table

Rank 1: Summons a large zombie follower to fight for you. Cost: 13 mana.

Synergies

No synergies with any of the passive skills are yet known.

Skill Rune Effects

No rune effects for Gargantuan are known.

Development

Gargantuan has only been seen in the hover descriptions at BlizzCon 2009 and 2010. It's never been seen in use, and the descriptions don't seem to have changed much over time. It was still listed when skill tiers were removed for the July 2011 Press Event, and Gargantuan became a level 14 skill.
