 Gargantua (Half-Life) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 tied up on top of the hydroelectric dam, while marines and Race X Shock Troopers fight around and with it.
The Gargantua, or simply "Garg" as it is commonly abbreviated, is a fictional creature from the 1998 computer game Half-Life by Valve Software.
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.
