monster_gargantua - Point Entity

Spawns a Gargantua, a big blue armored alien creature. They are only vulnerable to explosives and some experimental energy weapons, and are often used as a mini-boss. They prefer chasing their targets and roasting them at close range with their flamethrowing 'hands'. If they can't get to their target they will often wait patiently, occasionally launching a red ball of energy across the floor. In Half-Life and its expansions, defeating one often involved using the environment, such as triggering an electric discharge or using a mortar targeting system. Otherwise, a player would need some 8 to 10 grenades or rockets (100 damage each), or about 6 to 7 tripmines or satchel charges (150 damage each).
