Gargantuan is a Voodoo Witch Doctor skill unlocked at level 19. It summons a large zombie to fight for the Witch Doctor. This skill has not been tested by players, but the summoned creature has been seen in data mined screenshots, and it is a huge and terrifying creature.

Skill Rune Effects
The following is a very quick summary. See the Gargantuan rune effects page for a more thorough description of rune effects, or any of the individual rune pages for numbers, screenshots, blue quotes, and much more.
| Name | Level | Description |
|---|
<skill subcat="Pet spell" class="WitchDoctor">Gargantuan</skill> <skill class="WitchDoctor" rune="Humongoid">Gargantuan</skill> <skill class="WitchDoctor" rune="Restless Giant">Gargantuan</skill> <skill class="WitchDoctor" rune="Wrathful Protector">Gargantuan</skill> <skill class="WitchDoctor" rune="Big Stinker">Gargantuan</skill> <skill class="WitchDoctor" rune="Bruiser">Gargantuan</skill>
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.
Synergies
The following Witch Doctor passives provide a benefit to Gargantuan, runed or not:
| Name | Level | Description |
|---|
<skill class="WitchDoctor">Jungle Fortitude</skill> <skill class="WitchDoctor">Zombie Handler</skill> <skill class="WitchDoctor">Pierce the Veil</skill> <skill class="WitchDoctor">Fierce Loyalty</skill>
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.
Media
Gargantuan can be seen in action on video here:
