e/Gigas

Information
has gloss	eng: Gigas has become a popular term for races of giants in fantasy games. Gigas is a Greek word meaning "giant", originally used to describe the race of Gigantes in Greek mythology. The name was first used in this sense in the Squaresoft game Final Fantasy I and was subsequently used in many other Squaresoft games, such as Secret of Mana, often appearing as sub-bosses. In Final Fantasy VI the character Umaro is said to have the strength of a gigas, and in Final Fantasy VII the character Vincent Valentine has a Limit Break in which he transforms into a monster called the Death Gigas. From its usage in Squaresoft games, the Gigas has spread to other video game series, such as Skies of Arcadia. The final Colossus in Sonys Shadow of the Colossus is known as Grand Gigas Malus. Gigas appear in Final Fantasy XI as a race of Beastmen who live in Northern regions of Vanadiel, the fictional world depicted in the game.
