Appearances[]
Final Fantasy[]
The Hill Gigas, also known as the GIANT, is an enemy first encountered in the Cavern of Earth, and is thereafter a common enemy in the mid-game, appearing in Mount Gulg and several regions of the world map. Notably, Hill Gigas features in a set of fixed encounters to the west of the Cavern of Earth entrance where every tile triggers an encounter in releases prior to the Pixel Remaster, making for an effective level grinding location.
Final Fantasy II[]
The Hill Gigas is an enemy first appearing on the Dreadnought as a monster-in-a-box, and later on as regular enemy in Deist Cavern and Mysidian Tower. It deals high physical damage, and has very strong defense and HP stats, making it very difficult to defeat. It drops giant equipment, in the form of Giant's Gloves and Giant's Helm.

The Hill Gigas, also known as the HadesGigas, is an enemy found in Zozo. It is relatively difficult to defeat when first encountered, not only deadly due to its physical damage, but it can also use Magnitude 8 as a final attack. Locke can steal a powerful Gigas Glove from the Hill Gigas.
