A minion or henchman too big, strong or tough to be an ordinary mook, but not interesting enough to be The Dragon, a member of the Quirky Miniboss Squad, a King Mook or even an Elite Mook. Giant mooks usually require more effort to kill than ordinary mooks; the hero may need to land a series of nasty martial-arts blows before they sink to their knees (they don't go flying when you hit them). Sometimes they may seem too strong for the hero to kill, but then be fortunately (for the hero) caught up in a machine. Giant Mooks often lead mook squads. Usually the laws of Mook Chivalry dictate that they attack alone, after their underlings have been easily dispatched. If Giant Mooks are dragons, snakes, giants, or any other sort of scary animal or dumb big villain they will usually be the Right-Hand Attack Dog, which the Hero first has to slay before confronting the Big Bad himself. The actors who play Giant Mooks in big-budget films may be well-loved as wrestlers or as Gentle Giant actors in TV shows or independent films, but they don't rate above a line or two and a violent death in a major production. If a giant mook actually receives characterization, he is The Brute. Video games, particularly Brawlers, First-Person Shooter and Third-Person Shooter games, are full of these. Many of these monsters start out as the de facto boss monster of the game's first or second episode or segment, having their strength diluted in their appearances later in the game. In videogames, compare and contrast King Mook, a boss which only has the appearance of a Giant Mook. Compare Smash Mook, The Brute, Elite Mooks, an upgraded squad of mooks, and Boss in Mook Clothing. Contrast Fake Ultimate Mook, which looks like a Giant Mook but goes down just as easily as anyone else, and Mini Mook. |

One of the many assassins John has to face in John Wick: Chapter 2 after the Big Bad inevitably double crosses him is a very tough sumo-esque guy who manages to No-Sell two groin attacks, before throwing John through a nearby glass stand. In the ensuing brawl he manages to shrug off multiple gun shot wounds, until John finally manages to shoot him through the top of the head, but even then it takes yet another shot to head for him to stay down. Earlier in the film's Action Prologue, Wick manages to fight his way through several mooks with only his bare-hands, until a particularly large thug throws him across the room. Unfortunately for him, John is pragmatic enough to just pull out his gun shoot him in the knees, before moving on. | |

The Imperial Swordsman: The main villain have a cadre of hulking, muscular, bald-headed personal guards dressed in furs and use massive hammers as weapons. They give the main characters a much harder time in the final battle compared to common mooks, being Made of Iron and can take insane amounts of punishment. (How much? One of them gets stabbed in the back by the Action Girl, had both his eyes slashed out, and still keeps on fighting for another five minutes until he gets eventually impaled). | |

In Ressha Sentai ToQger, the Shadow Line's Kuliner trains act as these, being able to transform into Humongous Mecha called Kuliner Robos that are usually piloted usually by the Mooks.

Fist of the North Star: Probably half the villains from this series would qualify. No, really, a lot of the bad guys are huge. Mr. Heart is the giant mook in every way, right down to his size. Devil Rebirth, who appears to be at least twenty feet tall, and yet is considered a human. And then we have Zeed, the first villain in the series, who strangely changes size in mid-scene. |

Whateley Universe: A real Giant Mook character in the story "Boston Brawl 2". The Big Bad hires some extra muscle, including Matterhorn, a supervillain who can become a forty-foot giant. Due to the physics of this universe, Matterhorn gets his ass whupped by a 100-pound girl. And in "Christmas Crisis", there's Killbot, who's 20 or 30 feet tall and regenerates from pretty much anything. Too bad for him he's fighting Tennyo. |

Supercop 2 has Roger's team of operatives in the vault finale fighting the main characters. The heroine, Jessica Yang (played by Michelle Yeoh) notably gets to fight the largest of the group, a mercenary that towers over her. But Yang still wins by way of Combat Pragmatist - leaping on a table to perform a high-kick to the giant mercenary's head, smashing a bag of cash over her opponent's cranium, and hitting really low. | |

Homestuck: Ogres and Gyclopses are this among the Underlings that the players fight. They're huge and tough — the Ogres in particular are essentially gigantic versions of the common Imps — and a danger for new players, but they're still Underlings who will be mowed over by those same players soon enough. Among the Dersite and Prospitian forces warring on the Battlefield, Rooks are essentially gigantic, grotesquely overmuscled versions of the common Pawn troops. |

James Bond movies: The Classic Bond flick You Only Live Twice has numerous mooks and two giant mooks, the burly Japanese driver who takes Bond to Osato industries believing him to be an injured comrade, and Blofeld's huge, blonde bodyguard. Both take a lot of beating from Bond, in appropriate styles: the Japanese is defeated after much jujitsu and the use of a katana, the western guy after a western-style "big, loud punches on the jaw" type fight. Then there was The Man with the Golden Gun, where Bond had to fight two Sumo wrestlers in one scene. He has barely beaten them, but then Scaramanga's Mook Lieutenant Nick-Nack cheated, clocking the agent on the head from behind.

A giant Man in Black(with his 6 foot caliber shotgun) is seen in the episode Consternation and takes three shotgun blasts to the face without flinching. Hank, the protagonist, only manages to kill him by ramming a chainsaw through his head. The giant is later revealed to be a Mag Agent, which are regular agents upgraded into giant Super Soldiers. More Mag Agents appear in later episodes and take longer to kill than regular Mooks. | |

Rambo III at one point, after Rambo has just managed to climb out of a crevice, he is confronted by a Russian soldier who towers over him and manages to thrash him around a bit. Rambo takes him out with a 1-2 combo of wrapping a rope around his neck, pulling the pin on one of his grenades, and then kicking him into a crevasse, where he's hanged and then gloriously explodes less than a second later. | |

The X-Men Film Series enjoy this trope. We have Sabertooth in the first film, Juggernaut in the third, and the Blob in X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

The Expendables: In The Expendables 3, there's one large fellow with a huge knife who sprints into the climatic battle and tries to take Lee Christmas one-on-one. He actually manages to last several times as long as his comrades... but only because he's tough enough to take several times the beating and otherwise doesn't cause any serious damage. The Expendables 2 has Barney and Christmas walk into a Bad Guy Bar to get information, where they are confronted by a huge thug... before they immediatly take him out of the fight by sucker punching him with brass knuckles. |

The Lord of the Rings The cave trolls in books and films certainly qualify. Even more so the Orc Chieftain (the one that injures Frodo). Not to mention the Great Goblin in The Hobbit. Dragons have this role in The Silmarillion, and one of the most massive examples on this page appears in the form in the form of Ancalagon The Black, the first winged dragon, who made other dragons look tiny by comparison. To call this guy "Fucking Ginormous" was a reeeally big understatement. How big was he? He managed to crush Thangorodrim (Highest mountain in Middle Earth, about 6,000 feet taller than our very own Mount Everest) by falling on it. |

As the actor entry notes, Indiana Jones inevitably runs across a hulking henchman played by Pat Roach, who proceeds to cause him no end of trouble until dispatched with some convenient (and gruesome) environmental hazard. In Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indy encounters a really big German guy who wants to do some Good Old Fisticuffs with him. Indy opens with a Groin Attack, which is subverted rather painfully when the guy shrugs it off and decks him with one punch. He's finally defeated by a flying wing's propeller. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom has the Thuggee Chief Guard, Mola Ram's top enforcer, who fights Indy on top of a Conveyor Belt o' Doom that leads to a rock crusher. Indy's attempts to gain the upper hand are repeatedly thwarted when the Brainwashed and Crazy young Maharajah of Pankot uses a Voodoo Doll to paralyze him at inopportune moments. Indy eventually manages to come out on top, and the fight ends with the guard accidentally getting dragged into the rock crusher and dying very painfully. Sadly the requisite scene in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was cut and the role was filled by an expy in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull due to Pat Roach's death in 2004. |

Batman: The Animated Series: One notable example is Captain Clown, a super-strong robot used by the Joker in "The Last Laugh", thus qualifying as both a Giant Mook and a Mecha Mook (maybe a King Mook too) at the same time. Another notable example is the aptly named "Rhino" thug in "Read My Lips". Scarface (and his ventriloquist) isn't a credible physical threat to Batman, so the huge Rhino fills the role... and doesn't contribute much else either to the plot or the drama. Rhino is actually the Ventriloquist's perennial bodyguard in the comics, and Scarface's henchman in The Batman too; given that he appears in three different continuities, maybe he qualifies as more than a simple Mook. |

Deimos fight a bunch of giant mooks in DedmosRebuilt.fla. They are smaller than mag agents but still twice the height of Deimos. He beats them up with no problem with his new powers. |

In One Piece, the Marines use actual Giants as mooks dubbed the "Giant Squad" of about 8 of them. The two members of the Giant Squad who have actually been named are both Vice Admirals, the third highest rank in the Marines, so at least in theory they shouldn't be mooks. But since they're only seen in action against characters on an even higher level who beat them effortlessly, they come off like mooks anyway. Prior to the Giant Squad, there were Oimo and Kashi among the Enies Lobby guards. While they batted aside the lesser members of the Franky Family (including the Mighty Destroyers, who are large-size humans rather than true Giants) with laughable ease, once the Galley-La foremen and the named members of the Franky Family arrived, the tide quickly turned and they were rather brutally defeated. |

Batman & Robin: In the comics, Bane is a Genius Bruiser (he figures out Batman's secret identity, comes up with a refreshingly simple plan to beat Bats, and is generally one tough bastard). In this movie, he is basically an idiot caveman Giant Mook for Poison Ivy. Fortunately fixed in 2012's The Dark Knight Rises. | |

Cercei Lannister in Game of Thrones has The Mountain (well, actually some sort of resurrected version of him) as her personal bodyguard. He's little more than a brute to the Lannisters, but he's too damn huge and deadly to be considered "just a Mook" by everyone. He is not nicknamed The Mountain for nothing. | |

The Classic Bond flick You Only Live Twice has numerous mooks and two giant mooks, the burly Japanese driver who takes Bond to Osato industries believing him to be an injured comrade, and Blofeld's huge, blonde bodyguard. Both take a lot of beating from Bond, in appropriate styles: the Japanese is defeated after much jujitsu and the use of a katana, the western guy after a western-style "big, loud punches on the jaw" type fight. | |

Leverage: The random security guard from "The Schaherezaede Job". Standing roughly One Head Taller than the rest of Alexander Moto's security detail, he gives Eliot a surprisingly tough fight and is knocked out. He then wakes up and attacks him again, forcing Eliot and Parker to blow him up, dropping him thirty feet into a vault and knocking him unconscious. Again. The plan goes wrong, Moto rushes in, and just as you're thinking it can't get any worse, the Mook wakes up, dusts himself off, and proceeds to ready himself for a rematch. Moto got his money's worth with this guy. | |

Super Sentai has Humongous Mecha-sized Mooks: Samurai Sentai Shinkenger is the first series to use this trope in almost every episode. While Giant Mooks did occur in previous series, they were rather rare. Shinkenger is the first series in which this trope is a frequent occurrence. The Sugormin, the Elite Mooks from Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger are able to grow giant sized, as well as turning into a glider for the Monster of the Week to fly on. Basco to Jolokia, one of the villains, is able to turn past Sixth Rangers into mooks. Some of them have the power to grow giant on their own, resulting in this trope. The Vaglass Megazords in Tokumei Sentai Go Busters. There are three basic types, Alpha, Beta and Gamma. Whenever one is sent out, they have parts from the Monster of the Week grafted onto them. Alpha Types even have the ability to release Bugzords, giant versions of the regular mooks. The Zorima, the mooks from Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger pile up on each other to merge into the dinosaur-like Giant Zorima, becoming this trope. The Cambrima, the Elite Mooks of the show, can grow giant themselves. In Ressha Sentai ToQger, the Shadow Line's Kuliner trains act as these, being able to transform into Humongous Mecha called Kuliner Robos that are usually piloted usually by the Mooks. The main baddies have their own versions too, which they use for giant-sized fights against the heroes rather than turning gigantic themselves. In Shuriken Sentai Ninninger, Kyuuemon Izayoi summons a Giant Yokai Gashadokuro using his Yo Shuriken. They most just serve as extra muscle in fights, but six of them can be merged together with two Sealing Shurikens to create an Advanced Yokai Oboroguruma. |

Warhammer 40,000: Squad leaders. A squad member that has better stats and gear than a normal unit, but is still part of a squad as opposed to the more powerful independent characters. Da Orks play this trope straight — since Orks gain social status as they grow larger and stronger, the "Nobz" who lead squads/mobz are noticeably bigger than their underlings, though not as big as the Warboss in command of the army. The Imperial Guard also deploys Ogryns, which are their equivalent of Ogres. By and large, they're dumb and even their "BONE'eads" are still pretty dumb as they all come from former and long forgotten prison planets that stress "being big" and not "smart". They literally believe that the Emperor has a direct chain of command that is never wrong and the Commissar is the direct line to them... which is bad when said Commissar falls to Chaos. The Ogryn are too dumb to realize anything is amiss. Ogryn are stupidly loyal and serve as perfect body guards, with one dragging a Rhino (a massive armored personnel carrier) all the way to his injured Commissar because he said "the med-kit is in the Rhino" and assumed it meant "bring the Rhino to him". Chaos Space Marine armies that employ daemons, which inevitably includes some very big ones, which of course are the strongest. Eldar use Wraithguard, who though perhaps not as skilled as the most elite of their Aspect Warriors are some of the toughest infantry on any army list and carry guns that open miniature portals to the Warp inside their targer. Incidentally, while they play the trope straight while compared to any normal Eldar, they have their own giant version, the aptly named Wraithlord, who absolutely towers over anything short of a titan on the battlefield and can kick twice as much ass (mostly because it's toughness actually forbids most units from harming it). Like the Orks, the threat level of Tyranids is sorted by exactly how tall and wide said threat is. This even translated to a rule where enemies facing the tyranids gained the rule "Shoot the Big Ones!" where they can ignore targetting priority if they are targeting a monstrous tyranid creature. Almost every small creature has some form of "giant" equivalent; Gaunts are the "giant" version of Rippers, while Warriors are the "Giant" version of Gaunts. Raveners have Trygons and even the Carnifex (previously THE giant mook for the Tyranids) have the Tyrannofex. Going up one scale higher and we have the Hierophant Biotitan, who is basically every other creature listed here squished into one skyscraper-sized bug. Shortly after the Thirteenth Black Crusade, under the guide of Primarch Robotue Gulliman and Archmagos Dominus Belisarius Cawl, the Loyalist Space Marines have the Primaris Space Marines. Primaris Marines are bigger, stronger, and less prone to genetic quirks than their older Brothers making them more reliable compared to, for example, a Blood Angel Marine. The Primaris is far less likely to suffer from the Red Thirst nor will he succumb to the Black Rage. |

Warhammer basically has Giant Mook as a unit type. Several armies have the option of fielding large monsters or constructs, such as Trolls, Kroxigor, Rat Ogres, Minotaurs, and the like which are extremely powerful and tough, but few in number. The (non-rat) Ogre Kingdoms are in fact an army made up almost entirely of Giant Mooks. | |

Batman (1989): Near the end of the movie, Batman is confronted with The Joker's large, muscular (and unnamed) bodyguard at the top of the bell tower. This Giant Mook proceeds to wipe the floor with Batman for the next minute or so, possibly coming closer to killing him than the Joker himself. And then Batman kills the mook himself. Comes off being unintentionally funny due to the mook looking like a big Ray Charles, the slapstick style choreography, and the rather silly way in which Batman sends the mook falling to his death. | |

John Wick: One of the many assassins John has to face in John Wick: Chapter 2 after the Big Bad inevitably double crosses him is a very tough sumo-esque guy who manages to No-Sell two groin attacks, before throwing John through a nearby glass stand. In the ensuing brawl he manages to shrug off multiple gun shot wounds, until John finally manages to shoot him through the top of the head, but even then it takes yet another shot to head for him to stay down. Earlier in the film's Action Prologue, Wick manages to fight his way through several mooks with only his bare-hands, until a particularly large thug throws him across the room. Unfortunately for him, John is pragmatic enough to just pull out his gun shoot him in the knees, before moving on. John's first fight in John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum is against Ernest, a colossal assassin played by 7'3 basketball star Boban Marjanović. The difference in size is large enough for Ernest to grab Wick from outside of his own reach, and slam him around. |

In World Trigger, Trion Soldiers such as Bamsters, Vandas, and Ilgars are the size of a large building and are built to spread widespread destruction rather than engage in combat. The first two are some of the easiest Trion Soldiers to defeat, but the Ilgar is a massive flying whale shaped bomb that requires heavy firepower to take down. | |

In The Kingdom one of these has a brutal fight with Janet Mayes (Jennifer Garner) and Adam Leavitt (Jason Bateman). He easily throws both of them across the room, and is only defeated after Janet shoots in the leg, with his own gun, repeatedly, and then stabs him twice in the groin and chest, before slamming his head into the ground and stabbing him in the head. | |

Sadly the requisite scene in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was cut and the role was filled by an expy in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull due to Pat Roach's death in 2004. | |

The Mask of Zorro (Banderas version) has a seven-foot Mexican soldier attack the hero. True to Mook Chivalry, all the other soldiers stand back and watch, even when Zorro picks up two cannonballs... | |

In Code Lyoko, the Kolossus appearing in three late episodes of Season 4 is very much a GIANT mook. It destroys the virtual submarine of the heroes in just one mighty sweep of his blade-arm. | |

OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes: In "Jethro's All Yours", ordinary Jethros are The Goomba, while Mega Jethro is a much more serious threat. In "You're Level 100", Lord Boxman introduces "Big Darrell", a giant version of Darrell piloted by the original like a Humongous Mecha. |

God of Gamblers have a huge, oversized brute appearing alongside other enemies during the carpark shootout. As Lung took down multiple enemies, the brute managed to grab Lung from behind in a choke-hold; Lung managed to turn his pistol around and shoot the huge brute in the gut, but upon death the brute tightens his grip and leaves Lung trapped as several other mooks approaches. Luckily Ko Chun at that point had regained his memories - cue his Big Damn Heroes moment. | |

Full Metal Panic! has quite a few of these. The first comes in the form of the KGB lieutenant who was seen during Gauron's first introductory scene. A generic, huge, muscled Mook. He's even lampshaded mockingly by Gauron to have been brought there by the colonel for the specific purpose of intimidating him (due to his big size and angry manner). And then there's Dunnigan, who is again, muscled and huge. He tends to use brute force and strength, which was also the reason for his downfall when fighting Sôsuke. This is, however, subverted with Gauron, who is one of the tallest (along with the KGB lieutenant and Dunnigan) and most muscled characters in the series. Despite initially looking like a rugged, Giant Mook that won't last very long... he turns out to be one of the longest running (and very important) antagonists in the series. | |

Fighting Fantasy has Mutant Orcs, gigantic version of orcs with bulging muscles and higher stats compared to the common orcs. Legend of Zagor describes them as having an arm as large as half their body. | |

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom has the Thuggee Chief Guard, Mola Ram's top enforcer, who fights Indy on top of a Conveyor Belt o' Doom that leads to a rock crusher. Indy's attempts to gain the upper hand are repeatedly thwarted when the Brainwashed and Crazy young Maharajah of Pankot uses a Voodoo Doll to paralyze him at inopportune moments. Indy eventually manages to come out on top, and the fight ends with the guard accidentally getting dragged into the rock crusher and dying very painfully. | |
