Gargos (Classic)

==Summary==
Gargos is the final boss of Killer Instinct 2. 2000 years ago, he and Eyedol were the two warlord who clashed to control the world. During their final confrontation, when both them and their armies were worn out, a group of heroes stormed the battlefield and cast a spell to banish and seal the two demons to another dimension, the Limbo. In modern days, Gargos communicates with a group of monks, disguised as the wise Tiger Spirit. In this way, he lured Jago to confront Eyedol, who had recently escaped thanks to the megacorporation Ultratech, but he is instead killed by B. Orchid. The result was still the same, as upon Eyedol's death, the Limbo opened once again to claim the warlord's soul, and Gargos seizes the opportunity to break free from imprisonment. However, this fracture in space caused Ultratech's device to scan other dimensions to go rogue and explode, causing a time shift that drifted Gargos, the Killer Instinct fighters and even entire buildings back into the past. Returned in his time and without his rival, Gargos is now free to rebuild his cult. Only a handful of warriors, heroes and villains alike, stands between him and the conquest of the planet.

*Fighting Style: Gargos employs a form of combat centered around overwhelming the opponent with brute force and weight. He prefers using jabs, open-handed strikes and tackles. He doesn't use his legs very much, but he employs some low and medium kicks.
