The Gigantes (formerly Giant and Gigante) is a monster who appears in the Dragon Quest game series.

Characteristics

Gigantes are variants of cyclopes, having one eye, a single horn, and a bulky, humanoid build. Their skin is a light blue color while their partial-tunics are a darker, grayer shade of blue.

Gigantes were originally green-skinned with teal garb. Their appearance in the original V can be seen as the midpoint of their color changes from their original colors to the color scheme they use today.
