This Gargantuar's outfit has been a matter of study for Gargologists all around the globe. Fascinating trinkets of Chinese culture are all over. For example: the symbol on his basket means fortune.

Steam Ages - Day 16

He’s sure to throw a wrench in those plants’ plans. If you don’t laugh at that joke, he will make you. He will. His hands are enormous.

**Gargantuar** and his variants are some of the strongest zombies found in *Plants vs. Zombies 2: Reflourished*, boasting massive health while being capable of destroying most plants with minimal effort.

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 of them in a single hit, the only exception so far being Spikerock and Primal Wall-nut being able to handle 3 smashes, and plants with armor-related Plant Food like Wall-nut letting them handle one extra smash.

Instant-kill plants also do not defeat them on first use, as said instant-kills only deal 1800 damage. Once a Gargantuar has loses more than half of his health, he will throw his Imp, who lands several tiles ahead, and will not throw the Imp if they are on the first three columns.

## Trivia

* On Foreman Gargantuar's almanac icon, the Industrial imp in its cannon is not facing backwards like it should in-game.
* Foreman Gargantuar share the same sound effects with Gargantuar Pirate when launching the imp and Wild West Gargantuar when smashing and once defeated.
* In January 30, 2023's Piñata Party, a peculiar version of Hippity-Hop Gargantuar appears, throwing another Hippity Hop Gargantuar that has the health of an imp instead of a Chick Imp.
	+ The same Hippity-Hop Gargantuar also appears in Holiday Mashup - Day 47 and the April 1st 2023 party.
