Gargantuan is a Command Witch Doctor skill unlocked at level 18. It summons a large zombie to fight for the Witch Doctor. This skill has not been tested by players, but the summoned creature has been seen in data mined screenshots, and it is a huge and terrifying creature.

Skill Design

The Gargantuan is one of the Witch Doctor's pets, and serves as a tank. Jay Wilson described it in an interview:[1]

One of the newest pets that we've added to the Witch Doctor, which is the Gargantuan, which is a big giant, kind of, tough zombie creature that is designed more to absorb damage and kind of distract enemies.

It certainly looks more than capable of dealing as well as absorbing damage.

Development

This skill was listed amongst the Witch Doctor's skills at Blizzcon 2009 and 2010, but was never seen in use. It has yet to be seen in movement, and the only visuals were obtained via data mining the beta client.
