Creature · ICARUS 3.0.26 · Week 248
The Garganutan is the direct result of unsanctioned experimentation conducted on the surface of Icarus. Researchers were trying to gather data on the effect of exotics on the brain, and whether it could increase the capability of some animals to learn faster, or to a greater extent.
Garganutans will often use their surroundings to their advantage in a fight. This is due to their chemically enlarged hippocampus. Because of their enhanced intellect, most prospectors will abandon any conflict or interaction with these creatures out of fear for their safety.
"Rounding up a few creatures here and there is one thing but... a lab experiment that broke out? No thank you, I'll stick to mining exotics the hard way after this one."
This creature is not listed in any spawn zone in the shipped tables — it is placed by a mission, a boss encounter or a tame, rather than by the world spawner. Its biome and maps above come from the bestiary itself.
