Notable Attacks/Techniques:

- Cluster Beam: Gigan can shoot a red beam from its eye, the beam will then split into multiple smaller beams. Gigan has never showed this ability in the Showa version despite the movie poster showing Gigan using it, while the Final Wars and video game versions make great use of it.

- Hooked Appendages: Gigan's forelimbs sport a pair of large metal hooks in place of hands. Gigan can use these to batter an opponent, and to stab. In Gigan's appearance on the television series Zone Fighter, the tips of the hooks can release an explosive charge on contact with an enemy. In Godzilla: Final Wars, they are large blades instead of hooks, and the said blades are later on replaced with two-pronged chainsaws.
