Jumping Scratch Attack ( とびつきひっか攻撃, Tobitsuki Hikka Kōgeki ?) Scratch Attack ( ひっがき攻撃, Higgaki Kōgeki ?) Alternately, cast Stopga to freeze the Gigas Shadows and attack them with Sonic Blade or Strike Raid. Long-range techniques, like Blizzaga and Strike Raid, can deal damage while keeping Sora away from the Gigas Shadows. Aeroga and the slightly less effective Aerora can also be used to deflect oncoming attacks. Using Dumbo will prevent the Gigas Shadows from escaping, though he does little damage. If a Gigas Shadow manages to strike Sora, even just once, it will escape the fight, reducing the odds of winning a Fury Stone. They can quickly surround and swipe at Sora, but this can be avoided by moving into a corner on an elevated surface where only a few Gigas Shadows can attack at once.
They are large and have much more HP than other Heartless in the area.
They attack the same way normal Shadows do, but they do not become flat and move along floors. Gigas Shadows only appear after three waves of Shadows have been defeated in the Bizarre Room. The Gigas Shadow's name refers to its massive size-"gigas" is a Greek word meaning "giant"-it is otherwise identical to the appearance of a normal Shadow. In Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, they are simply normal sized Shadows that gradually grow to their limit, possibly a reference to Sora's use of the shrinking potion. The Gigas Shadow is identical to the basic Shadow and Mega-Shadow Heartless, but is much larger than either of its two relatives. With the exception of its eyes, this Heartless's body is completely pitch-black. Each of its hands has three clawed fingers, and its feet are large and lack any distinguishable digits. It also has two long, twisted antennae sprouting out of the top of its head. It has a round, spherical head with circular, glowing yellow eyes.
A Gigas Shadow has a vaguely humanoid body structure.
