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

Development
Gargantuan was listed amongst the Witch Doctor's skills at BlizzCon 2009 and BlizzCon 2010, but was never seen in use.
Beta
Skill tiers were removed shortly before the beta started in September 2011, and Gargantuan became a level 18 skill. The skill system was once again overhauled for the Beta Patch 13 in February 2012, and Gargantuan was classified as a Voodoo skill and moved to level 19.
Gargantuan has, throughout development, been too high-level to play, so there are no gameplay reports describing it.
