Gigantus is a giant Rock Golem introduced in Skylanders: Giants. In the Time of the Giants 10,000 years ago, he lived under the watchful eye of the Arkeyans. Even though he's admittedly a little thickheaded, he loves to help and knows a lot of ways to make himself useful.[1] In the game, he helped the Giants learn what they can do, such as picking and throwing boulders, and jumping down to smash through holes. After jumping into a mine shaft, his whereabouts are unknown.
He is also an unlockable companion in Skylanders: Lost Islands, and can be purchased with 300 Gems. Upon being unlocked, he unlocks two Giant-specific Adventure destinations, Wilikin Village and Secret Vault of Secrets, and gives all Giants a 25% Gold bonus for everything they do.
