 The Gargantuan is one of the Witch Doctor's pets, and serves as a tank. [[Jay Wilson]] described it in an interview:[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/character-previews-from-jay-wilson]

 Skill tiers were removed shortly before the [[beta]] started in September 2011, and Gargantuan became a level 18 skill. The skill system was once again overhauled for the [[Beta Patch 13]] in February 2012, and Gargantuan was classified as a Voodoo skill and moved to level 19.
-Gargantuan has, throughout development, been too high-level to play, so there are no gameplay reports describing it.
+Prior to release, Gargantuan had never been seen or used by players.
