IconGargantuan.png

Gargantuan is a Support Witch Doctor skill unlocked at level 18. 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

Gargantuan in action

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


Skill Effects

The following is a very quick list. See the Gargantuan rune effects page for a more thorough summary of rune effects, or any of the individual rune pages for numbers, screenshots, blue quotes, and much more.


Icon Skill Description
IconGargantuan.png Gargantuan

|}

Note: Information is based on a level 60 character and rank 7 runestones.


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.


Synergies


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:
