==Characteristics==
==Characteristics==
Defined by strength, the Gigantes is a [[Demon family|behemoth]] whose simplistic garb does a poor job of concealing its bulging muscle mass. Though some members of the species can prove to be gentle giants, it is usually encountered in the wild as a dumb brute ready and willing to cave in the skulls of plucky adventurers. In more recent titles, it seems to have smartened up a little and learned a few skills.

Originally depicted as having green skin and a bright blue sash, it started to shift to its modern coloration in the release of {{Dragon Quest V}} before its iconic look was established in {{Dragon Quest VIII}}.
