Gigantor
Giant mechanical guardian
Gigantor is a giant robot from a 1960s Japanese anime series, one of the earliest examples of the mecha genre.
The name now serves as informal shorthand for anything enormous or imposing: That new SUV is a real Gigantor.
Often used affectionately or with mild exaggeration to describe oversized people, objects, or creatures.
