Gigan

Gigan is an alien cyborg kaiju, possessing parts both organic and machine. Equipped with a laser, teleportation, hammer-claws (also known as Hammer-hands), an enormous sawblade, and the power of flight, Gigan is a living weapon.

Gigan first appeared in the 1972 film Godzilla vs Gigan. In the film, Gigan is teamed up with King Ghidorah, and together, were sent by aliens to take over the Earth. Their campaign is interrupted by Godzilla and Anguirus, who valiantly fought back against the alien invaders.

Playstyle
Gigan has a rushdown playstyle, and is very powerful at close range. Despite this, Gigan walks very slowly and has trouble getting close to its enemies due to its lack of speed. However, its teleportation can help it get right on top of its enemies, should it ever have trouble approaching them on foot. Additionally, its flight allows it to reach high speeds.

Attacks
Left Click Combo: A right hook, followed by a left hook, then a laser blast from Gigan's head

Grab: Raises its claws, then powerfully strikes downwards, dealing good damage and knockback.

Z Attack : Spins in a circle twice, striking all nearby enemies with its hammer-claws.

 Flying Z Attack:  Zooms forwards while activating its sawblade, damaging anything it flies through.

X Attack: Gigan activates its sawblade, stunning and cutting up any enemy directly in front of it.

Flying X Attack: Dashes forward at great speeds with the cost of draining some stamina.

C Attack: Gigan attempts to teleport directly on top of the nearest enemy.

Rage Attack: Gigan activates its signature Whirlwind Assault attack, stretching its claws(and in the piweworks games, charging them) and rapidly spinning its hammer-claws into its opponents.

Skins
The vibrant skin is a skin for Gigan with a light blue and light green color scheme and was one of Gigan's first skins, being available during the pre-revamp. Though, this skin would not return in any other future revamps for unknown reasons.

‍

The bird-like skin is a skin for Gigan with a blue and tan color scheme, being available during the first revamp. It also has many changes such as, a green visor and laser firing aperture, black hammerhands, and the spike on his head being backwards. Like the vibrant skin, this skin would not appear in any other future revamps for unknown reasons.

‍

The melanistic skin (aka the black skin) is a skin for Gigan with a black and purple color scheme, being available during the pre-revamp and second revamp. However unlike the vibrant and bird-like skins, this skin would appear in future revamps (the second revamp to be exact).
