==Characteristics==
==Characteristics==
Defined by strength, the Gigantes is a behemoth whose simplistic garb does a poor job of concealing its bulging muscle mass. Though some members of the species can prove to be gentle giants, it is usually encountered in the wild as a dumb brute ready and willing to cave in the skulls of plucky adventurers. In more recent titles, it seems to have smartened up a little and learned a few skills.

Gigantes have appeared since the beginning of the game, appearing in many different regions throughout the world. As always, they are capable of landing {{Desperate attack}}s with their clubs and have also gained the ability to use [[Crackerwhack]].
*Vicious gigantes began appearing in Version 5.0 of the game. They are much more powerful than their normal counterparts and have gained the ability to act twice per turn.

Latest revision as of 10:54, 16 September 2026

The gigantes is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series that was introduced in Dragon Quest II.

They are club-wielding cyclopses with sky-blue skin.

Characteristics[edit | edit source]

Defined by strength, the gigantes is a behemoth whose simplistic garb does a poor job of concealing its bulging muscle mass. Though some members of the species can prove to be gentle giants, it is usually encountered in the wild as a dumb brute ready and willing to cave in the skulls of plucky adventurers. In more recent titles, it seems to have smartened up a little and learned a few skills.

Originally depicted as having green skin and a bright blue sash, it started to shift to its modern coloration in the release of Dragon Quest V before its iconic look was established in VIII.

Dragon Quest X [edit | edit source]

Gigantes have appeared since the beginning of the game, appearing in many different regions throughout the world. As always, they are capable of landing Desperate attacks with their clubs and have also gained the ability to use Crackerwhack.
