A Gargantua also appears during the final sequence of the "Half-Life" demo, ', where it kills several Black Mesa personnel before slowly heading towards the cornered player, at which point the demo ends. In the ' expansion, a Gargantua can be seen in the chapter "Foxtrot Uniform" tied up on top of the hydroelectric dam, while marines and Race X Shock Troopers fight around and against it. Gargantuas can be seen in "Half-Life" in the chapters "Power Up", "Surface Tension", "Interloper", and "Nihilanth". However, each Vortigaunt has three arms (two at the shoulders and one jutting from the chest) while the Gargantua has four arms (two at the shoulder position and two spiked arms at the abdomen). They share some physical characteristics with Vortigaunts, such as their backwards-jointed legs and hoofed feet. Gargantuas can be found on Xen, though their true origin is unknown. Gargantuas are very determined pursuers, and wait patiently for their target to come out of an area they cannot reach for a considerable amount of time before moving on to do something else. The Gargantua moves fast and is very strong: it can smash or toss large obstacles from its path with ease. This shockwave, which appears as a red dot that shoots red sparks behind it, increases in speed as it travels and can traverse vertical structures. It can also send a shockwave towards its opponents by powerfully stomping the ground. An example of the loud roars is in "Uplink", near the ending sequence before the player gets trapped, the creature's loud roar made a vent collapse and the player is forced to go through and the next roar causes the vent to fall on to the platform the player gets stuck at in the start of the ending sequence. Gargantuas can make loud roars that can damage structures. Though the flamethrower weapon is short-ranged, it is still effective, known to blow up machinery, as in "". These claw weapons are designed to open vertically, not horizontally. In place of hands, it has two claw-like appendages which can be opened to emit jets of intense heat.
The Gargantua, nicknamed "Garg", is mostly blue in color, has a crocodile-like head, a thick back plating which resembles an armadillo, and has one yellow eye that glows red when it perceives a hostile unit. Xen is where the majority of the aliens in Valve's "Half-Life" series originate.
The following is a list of creatures from the " Half-Life" universe.
