Gargantuar (pvzc)

Gargantuars in Plants vs. Zombies: Collide have some of the highest health of all non-boss and non-hero zombies in the game making them quite difficult to handle. In addition to their high health, these zombies attack plants by crushing them rather than eating them, attacking plants typically immune to zombie attacks such as Spikeweed and destroy most plants in a single hit and upgraded plants with armour allowing them to survive an extra smash. 
Once a gargantuar has lost half of his health he will throw his Imp, who lands several tiles ahead, usually throwing the Imp only when they are at least three columns from the house.
== Origins ==
Gargantuar is based on the zombie of the same name and appearance in Plants vs. Zombies and Plants vs. Zombies 2.
== Overview ==
Gargantuar absorbs 3,600 damage, changing appearance at 1,000, throwing an imp at 1,800, changing appearance again at 2,600 and dying at 3,600.

== Strategies ==
=== Adventure Mode ===
Gargantuar is very similar to how he is to the second game minus the variants. Bring any instant kill you can to weaken him. Level 2 or higher Squash will take him out as he can crush Gargantuar twice. Use any plant you can like Cactus-Water, Snow Pea, Kernel-Pult or Dragonfruit to slow him down. Using Puff-Shroom and Sun-Shroom as throwaway plants to force Gargantuar to smash them. In Bloom & Doom Manufacturing Plant, use the conveyor-belt to your advantage. Putting a single plant on there and pull it away as Gargantuar smashes so the plant won’t die and repeat. 
=== iZombie/Tower Defence ===
Gargantuar costs 300 brains and has a slow recharge. Save Gargantuar for lanes without multiple Squashes or Bananasauruses or plants that might kill him but lanes that are too difficult for regular zombies to take out. Use normal zombies or imps to take care of the insta-kill problems.
