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.

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.

  • 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 18 skill.


Media

Gargantuan can be seen in action on video here:

  • No videos yet.
