Tier: Regular

Spoiler:

Abilities: A lumbering titan of the lands surrounding the Chasm and a patron of Belphegor's armies, the Talon Gigas is truly a force to be reckoned with. One of the most physically defensible and outwardly vicious of all the Demons to be found here, the Talon Gigas is remarkable for the anonymous bio-organic talons it holds; as can be seen in the image, a large proportion of its body is covered with wickedly curved prongs and claws. Its hands are infact layered with "gauntlets" made of sheet upon sheet upon sheet of interlocking spikes which all point outwards.

Not to mention that additionally its furred pauldrons are lined with these same spines, and its blade is infact constructed solely from them - and to kick it all off, its "feet" are simply stumps with five talons protruding in a three-hundred and sixty degree radius. The Talon Gigas truly lives up to its name - and should be feared when it comes to close contact, as, though it is a sparing and seldom-used troop dotted around far less frequently than others, it's still infamous and fearsome.

The fur on its back is not so much fur as a conglomerate of tiny, similarly bio-organic, spined fibres which are painful to foreign touch and will split away from the Gigas' body and embed themselves in a target's skin, armour, or whichever other proxy it may possess. As you can see, all of the blades it holds are curved inwardly, which means that without much effort they can seamlessly hook into a target's skin and cause a considerable amount of pain before they're dislodged.

The Gigas, however, is completely useless in long-range combat; and whilst it possesses a surprising alacrity when it lowers its head and pulls into a charge, keep your distance and safely barrage it with projectiles and it'll soon fall.

Miscellaneous Notes: - Don't let it touch you.
- The metal of which the spines are made of is, as noted above, bio-organic, and can be regenerated by the Gigas over a period of moments. The blade remakes itself so that when it strikes an enemy and hooks in, if it loses some spines, the drop in size is far from permanent.
