The Gigantes (ギガンテス Gigantes) is a monster in the Dragon Quest series that was introduced in Dragon Quest II: Luminaries of the Legendary Line.

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.

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: Hand of the Heavenly Bride before its iconic look was established in Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King.

Stupidly strong, stamina-heavy and slightly slapdash smashers who can be licked with lightning.
