Spawn Conditions

Spawned by trading Oversized Sock to ??? at F-7 (Upper left quadrant right next to ravine)

Traits and Abilities

Favors Ice Roar over traditional Gigas moves.
- Use of Ice Roar initiates Ice Spikes effect, so stun Ice Roar. Ice spikes get stronger with each use.
Uses a move called Moribund Hack, AoE Ice damage. Very powerful. Hate reset.
- Ice Spikes will wear off after Moribund Hack is used.
Can be Blinded, Slowed, and Paralyzed, but all with some difficulty.

Other Notes

Pulling this NM from his spawn point straight back to the ridge wall will get him out of range of 90% of the Hadal Gigas' patrol routes. Links are otherwise very common and rather dangerous.

Historical Background

Pantagruel is a part of a connected series of five novels of two giants: Gargantua (the father) and Pantagruel(his son) and their adventures, the text is written in an amusing, extravagant, satirical vein.
