Gargantuas can be seen in Half-Life in the chapters "Power Up," "Surface Tension," "Interloper," and " Nihilanth." In the Opposing Force expansion, a Gargantua can be seen in the chapter "Foxtrot Uniform" tied up on top of the hydroelectric dam, while marines and Race X Shock Troopers fight around and against it. It is almost impossible to kill with normal bullets. It is completely bulletproof, and requires a large amount of explosive, electrical, or energy damage before being destroyed. The Gargantua is a kind of sub- boss creature. Note that many of the species of Xen share common morphological characteristics. However, each Vortigaunt sports three arms (two at the shoulders and one jutting from the chest) while the Gargantua has four arms (two at the shoulder position and two spiked arms at the abdomen).
They share some physical characteristics with Vortigaunts, such as their backwards-jointed legs and hoofed feet. Gargantuas can be found on Xen, though their true origin is unknown. Gargantuas are very determined pursuers, and have been known to wait patiently for their target to come out of an area they can't reach for a considerable amount of time before moving on to do something else. The Gargantua moves fast and is very strong: it can smash or toss large obstacles from its path with ease. This shock wave can also traverse vertical structures.
It can also send a shock wave towards its opponents by powerfully stomping the ground. An example of the loud roars is in Half-Life: Uplink near the ending sequence before the player gets trapped, the creature's loud roar made a vent collapse, and the player is forced to go through and the next roar causes the vent to fall onto the platform the player gets stuck at in the start of the ending sequence. Gargantuas can make loud roars that can damage structures. In place of hands, it sports two claw-like appendages which can be opened to emit jets of intense heat. The creature is approximately four meters tall, mostly blue in color, and has one yellow eye that glows red when it perceives a hostile unit. The Gargantua, nicknamed "Garg," is a fictional creature from the 1998 computer game Half-Life by Valve Software.
