GIGAN

Heavily-bladed, alien-engineered cyborg.

Gigan is a sadistic alien cyborg that screams through the stars in search of fresh victims for its saw-bladed stomach.

Over the eras, Gigan has been summoned by a host of nonhuman races – both alien and domestic – to challenge Earth's kaiju, even teaming with the giant insect god Megalon to contest Godzilla.

The increasingly mechanical abomination's catastrophic claws have grown into grappling hooks and even double-sided chainsaws. Not limited to melee weapons, Gigan can even blast a lethal laser from its jeweled forehead. No matter how Gigan evolves, one thing remains the same: when Gigan screams down from space via its internal jet pack, adversaries brace themselves for devastating bladework.
