In combat, humanoid gargantua used their massive fists to inflict terrible damage. While their fingers were too large to wield weapons, they would use whole tree trunks as a club. Their large size also allowed them to dispatch an opponent by merely stepping on them.

Abilities
Humanoid gargantua were able to regenerate any damage from physical attacks.

Society
Humanoid gargantua were solitary creatures but when they found a mate, they lived together as a pair until one of them died. Although they lived a life of peaceful co-existence with other creatures in their territory, they were extremely aggressive towards other gargantua. When they encountered another gargantua, they fought until one of them was slain.

Habitat
Most humanoid gargantua were found in remote jungles, mountainous valleys or islands across Kara-Tur. One particular island, the Isle of Gargantuas near Wa, was home to all varieties of gargantua. They made their lairs in large caves or grottoes. Humanoid gargantua did not collect or horde treasure.

Ecology
Humanoid gargantua had an long lifespan, living several hundred years. Once they reached maturity, they searched for a mate, with whom they paired with for the remainder of their natural life. Once every century, a female humanoid gargantua gave birth to one or two children.

Their diet was varied. They hunted animals for meat and foraged for fruits and vegetables. Their favorite meals were deer, bears and horses.
