    Trivia

    • Garganacl is similar to Golem and Gigalith. They are Rock Types made of geo material.

    Origin

    Garganacl is based on rock salt and sedimentary bedrock, as evidenced by its layered design. Its shoulders resembles a ziggurat (though salt can form pyramid like structures), while its gentle nature and Rock-type implies its also a Hebrew Golem, much like Golurk.

    Etymology

    Garganacl is a combination of "gargantuan" and NaCl (the chemical formula for table salt; sodium chloride).

    Kyojiōn comes from 巨人 (kyojin, "giant"), 塩 (shio, "salt") and "geo-", a prefix meaning "earth".
