gigantesque
Of towering proportions
Gigantesque means resembling or characteristic of a giant—massive in scale or suggestive of something from mythology or fantasy.
The word carries a more literary or whimsical flavor than simply *giant* or *gigantic*: The gigantesque statues loomed over the temple entrance.
It appears rarely in English, borrowed from French.
