Guardian Pondor

Garguants are large Guardian enemies encountered in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel! Garguants only appear in the Holodome Onslaught DLC.

Attacks & Techniques
Garguants are generally slow, however they can jump quite far. They have a phasing technique with which they appear to go invisible. This is not the same as the cloaking technique that Reapers and Wraiths use, because while Reapers and Wraiths can still be damaged while they are invisible, Garguants cannot be damaged while invisible. This suggests that Garguants phase out of the main dimension, similar to Lilith's Phasewalk ability. Garguants are fearsome opponents at melee and long range. In melee range, they perform a devastating smash attack. They may also perform this attack immediately after phasing back in, which makes the attack more threatening. At range, Garguants prepare a set of pink orbs, which float in front of the Garguant's head in a ring pattern. They fire these orbs in slow intervals, and although the projectile speed is very slow, the orbs have homing capability and the ability to knock down airborne Vault Hunters. This knockdown effect can be devastating when the Holodome's spinning blades are open, and it can make it difficult for close combat fighters like Athena to close the gap. The orbs deal explosive damage.

Strategy
Garguants have a large head and moderate shields, but very high health. One can try focusing a bunch of critical hits on them, but usually the best way to dispatch them is freeze and explode.
