->''Bad guys always seem to think bigger is better.''
--> '''Izzy, {{Digimon}}'''

A minion or henchman too big, strong or well 'ard to be an ordinary mook, but not interesting enough to be TheDragon, the BigBad, a member of the QuirkyMinibossSquad, or even a KingMook. 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 [[BlownAcrossTheRoom don't go flying]] when you hit them). Sometimes they may seem too strong for the hero to kill, but then be fortuitously (for the hero) [[PuzzleBoss caught up in a machine]].

Giant Mooks often lead mook squads. Usually the laws of MookChivalry dictate that they attack alone, after their underlings have been easily dispatched.

The actors who play Giant Mooks in big-budget films may be well-loved as wrestlers or as GentleGiant 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 TheBrute.

In videogames, compare and contrast KingMook, a boss which only has the appearance of a GiantMook. Compare TheOgre. Compare TheBrute. Contrast LevelFiveOnix, which looks like a GiantMook but goes down just as easily as anyone else. Compare also BossInMookClothing.

!!Examples

[[folder:Actors]]
* Pat "Bomber" Roach. Much-loved heavyweight wrestler and spokesman for wrestling, played GentleGiant Bomber Busbridge in British drama series ''Auf Wiedersehen Pet''. Film roles:
** Bouncer in white tights, ''A Clockwork Orange''.
** Leader of Celtic mooks, ''RobinHood: Prince of Thieves''.
** General Kael (chief mook/TheDragon), ''Willow''.
** Giant mook killed by JamesBond's urine and some glassware, ''Never Say Never Again''.
** He was the only actor besides Harrison Ford to appear in all the original three ''IndianaJones'' films:
*** Giant Sherpa who fights Indy and Giant Nazi Mook [[NightmareFuel killed by propeller]], ''Raiders of the Lost Ark''.
*** Giant Thuggee Mook crushed by the roller in ''Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom''.
*** Giant Gestapo Mook seen running after the zeppelin, ''Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade'' (his fight scene was cut).
*** Sadly, Pat Roach passed away before getting the chance to menace Indy one last time in ''Crystal Skull''.
** Big Pat also got to be the wizard(!) Thoth-Amon in ''Conan the Destroyer''.
*** In this incarnation he plays his own [[TheDragon Dragon]]/Giant Mook, the Man-ape. The sight of Pat Roach in a ''really'' bad [[SpecialEffectsFailure trick-or-treat mask]] lifting Arnold Schwarzenegger onto his shoulders and trying to pull his arms off is an awesomely awful moment.
* Ron Tarr:
** Appears in various bully, biker, minder and bouncer roles in British TV, notably in ''The Comic Strip''.
** Supporting character on British soap ''{{Eastenders}}''.
** TheBigGuy of the revolutionaries in independent British film ''Eat the Rich''.
** Wore a ''skin'' to play a gorilla in ''Return of the Saint''.
** Giant French Mook wearing rather Bavarian-looking hat in the [[JamesBond Bond]] film ''A View to a Kill'' (the one who lands on the conveyor belt).
** Giant bar-room brawler Llug, who accidentally clobbers some mooks in ''Willow''.
* Dave Prowse, strongman and spokesman for Road safety ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wz3uaChsNM the Green Cross Man]]). Film Appearances:
** Writer's GentleGiant bodyguard, ''A Clockwork Orange''.
** Third-stringer in the HammerHorror talent stable (the Giant Mook strongman from ''Vampire Circus'', and the FrankensteinsMonster in ''Horror of Frankenstein'' and ''Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell'').
** Bit part as Hotblack Desiato's bodyguard in the TV version of ''[[Series/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy]]''.
** Finally got a BigBad role as [[StarWars Darth Vader]] (after refusing the part of Chewbacca), but as you can't see his face through that armour (and the face you later see is someone else's), and all his lines were dubbed by James Earl Jones, his contribution to the role consists mostly of being big.
** Considered for the part of Jaws in ''James Bond'' before the part went to Richard Kiel.
** TV role as the Minotaur (with a bull's head and a loincloth) in the ''Doctor Who'' story "The Time Monster."
* Richard Kiel, who is probably most famous for menacing JamesBond as GiantMook Jaws in ''The Spy Who Loved Me'' and ''Moonraker'' (although Jaws, being a chief henchman verged on {{The Dragon}} territory). He also played a caveman in the BMovie ''Eeeegah!'' in addition to a Serbian warlord in ''Force 10 from Navarone'' and a giant henchman in "Silver Streak".
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
* Lionel "Leo" Jenning in the {{Western}} {{Shojo}} manga ''Miriam'', falls just short of being TheBrute by not having any real afiliation with the main group of bad guys. However, he's a gigantic champion prizefighter who presents a tremendous challenge in hand-to-hand combat, and Douglas' encounter with him plays out much like any GiantMook faceoff in a movie or video game would... until later, when he becomes TheBigGuy SixthRanger.
* Mr. Heart from ''{{Fist of the North Star}}'' is the giant mook in every way, right down to his size. In fact, probably half the villains from this series would qualify.
** No, really. A lot of the bad guys are huge, and then there's 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 [[http://ridureyu.livejournal.com/2407.html changes size in mid-scene.]]
* The finale of ''MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha'''s first season had the huge [[{{Mecha-mooks}} mecha mook]] that appeared near the end of the ThemeMusicPowerUp, which required both Nanoha and Fate joining forces to take down.
* {{Bleach}} has the Gillian, the lowest class of the menos (read: super hollows) which are basically giant hollows with even less common sense.
** [[spoiler: Superchunky]] is what happens when this trope gets turned UpToEleven.
* [[GeniusBruiser Docrates]] and [[TheBrute Cassius]], two enormous brothers from ''SaintSeiya'', who never really attained enough status in the ranks of Sanctuary to be of any significant [[JustForPun stature]] among the Saints. At least Cassius got to [[RedemptionEqualsDeath redeem himself]] in a [[TearJerker Tear Jerking]] CrowningMomentOfAwesome.
* ''FullMetalPanic'' has quite a few of these. The first comes in the form of the KGB lieutenant who was seen during Gauron's [[EstablishingCharacterMoment 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 [[CombatPragmatist Sousuke]]. 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, GiantMook that won't last very long... he turns out to be one of the longest running (and ''very'' important) antagonists in the series.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Comics]]
* In ''{{Watchmen}}'', midget crimelord Big Figure had a couple of big mooks at his disposal and used them to get at [[CrazyPrepared Rorschach]] in the middle of a prison riot. [[IncrediblyLamePun Little]] damn good it did him.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Films]]
* In the movie ''[[ThreeHundred 300]]'', a particularly hideous GiantMook gives Leonidas quite a thrashing before our hero manages to decapitate him.
* "The Russian" from ''ThePunisher'' is notable since he was the only GiantMook from the comics to appear in the film.
* The Classic {{James Bond}} film ''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 [[GoodOldFisticuffs "big, loud punches on the jaw"]] type fight.
* Near the end of the 1989 ''Batman'' movie, Batman is confronted with Joker's large, muscular (and, as far as this troper can remember, unnamed) bodyguard at the top of the bell tower. This GiantMook proceeds to wipe the floor with Batman for the next minute or so, possibly coming closer to killing him than the Joker himself.
** His name might have been Lawrence. This is the guy who carried the boombox, right?
*** No no, Lawrence was the one who tried to jump at Batman and crashed straight through the floor. The one that troper was referring to looked like a bigger, grumpier version of Ray Charles.
* In the comics, Bane was a GeniusBruiser (he figured out Batman's secret identity, came up with a refreshingly simple plan to beat Bats, and is generally one tough bastard). In ''{{Batman and Robin}}'', he was basically an idiot caveman GiantMook for Poison Ivy.
* One of the yakuza factions in Akira Kurosawa's classic ''Yojimbo'' had a giant mook with a big hammer named Kannuki the Giant (Namigoro Rashomon). ''Last Man Standing'', the rather faithful remake (despite being set during Prohibition in America) starring Bruce Willis, also had a giant mook hanging around.
* ''The Mark 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 the antique store fight in Jet Li's ''{{Kiss of the Dragon}}, a ScaryBlackMan GiantMook is memorably introduced with his own ''theme song''. I guess his name was Dirty Dawg or something...
* Dalip Singh Rana (better known as the {{WWE}}'s Great Khali) in TheMovie version of ''GetSmart'', who mostly serves as Siegfried's muscle and takes tons of unnecessary insult from his boss. Later on [[spoiler:he and Max become friends, leading him to tip him off about KAOS' plot and eventually punching Siegfried out of a car for threatening to kill his wife.]]
* ''The Protector'' has a giant mook as a recurring antagonist. He is introduced by [[spoiler: grabbing the hero ''through a wall'' and throwing him across a room, he sadly suffered from {{Conservation of Ninjutsu}}.]]
* In ''{{Escape from New York}}, [[AwesomeMcCoolName Snake Plissken]] is forced to fight a giant mook in gladiatorial-style combat.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Literature]]
* The cave trolls in ''{{The Lord of the Rings}}'' books and films certainly qualify.
** Even more so the Orc Chieftain (the one that injures Frodo).
**** [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Dragons]] have this role in TheSilmarillion, 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 6000 feet taller than our very own Mount Everest) by ''falling on it.''
* Ser Gregor Clegane, the "Mountain that Rides" in ''{{A Song of Ice and Fire}}''. He is somewhat in an anomalous position between a major villain and a mook, being one of the most feared fighters in Westeros but having little power as a vassal of Tywin Lannister. He is also one of the few true {{Complete Monster}}s in the series.
* Even ''HarryPotter'' gets in on this, oddly enough, in ''Half-Blood Prince''. By all [[SecondHandStorytelling accounts]], the action at Hogwarts at the end of the book was dominated by an anonymous, huge, blond Death Eater.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Live Action TV]]
* B.A. Baracus (Mr. T) of ''TheATeam'' usually whips the floor with any Mook fool enough to try attacking him. However, he meets a stumbling block in two (unrelated) episodes with an Asian Giant Mook (same actor each time) who can take his punches without flinching, and then proceeds to throw TheBigGuy around.
* [[SamuraiSentaiShinkenger Samurai Sentai Shinkenger]] turns this trope UpToEleven with [[HumongousMecha Humongous Mecha-sized]] Mooks.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
* ''{{Warhammer}}'' basically has Giant Mook as a unit type. Several armies have the option of fielding large monsters or constructs, such as [[OurTrollsAreAllDifferent Trolls]], [[LizardFolk 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.
* ''{{Warhammer 40000}}'' has squad leaders. A squad member 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 actually grow in size and muscle mass based on their social status, 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.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Video Games]]
* Video games, particularly {{Brawler}}s and ThirdPersonShooter 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, [[DegradedBoss having their strength diluted]] in their appearances later in the game.
** The classic video game example would be Abobo from ''DoubleDragon''. In an ''unbelievably'' unexpected turn, he became the BigBad in ''Rage of the Dragons''.
** Another popular beat-'em-up example is "Andore" and all his PaletteSwap relatives (no points in guessing [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed who he is derived from]]) in the ''Final Fight'' series.
** The Large Body and Fat Bandit Heartless from ''KingdomHearts''. The aptly-named Aquatanks from Atlantica also counts as ones too.
*** ''358/2 Days'' also gives us the Bully Dog, and the Snapper Dog, both larger versions of the Rabid Dog/Bad Dog.
** Dapang, Wong's primary bodyguard from ''John Woo Presents: Stranglehold'', who is also Wong's {{Dragon}}.
** ''JediAcademy'' has the large cyborg hazard troopers, wearing heavy armour that protects them from normal weapons and makes them able to take several hits from a lightsaber, and usually carrying Stouker concussion rifles, which is perhaps the most deadly ranged weapon in enemy hands in the game.
* These are especially common in {{First Person Shooter}}s.
** The Baron of Hell/Hellknight monsters in the ''{{Doom}}'' series are perhaps the foremost examples of this role.
*** Mancubuses, Revenants, and Archviles.
** The Striders of ''HalfLife 2'' are either Giant Mooks or [[BossBattle bosses]], depending on the terrain, number, and how much rocket amo you have available. In the first game, you take out a whole horde of Striders in the latter stages, while Epsiode 1 uses a single Strider as a final boss fight. Episode 2 culminates in a [[spoiler:BossBattle against a whole horde of Striders.]]
*** Episode 2 also introduces the Hunters, which are tripodal bluegreen mechanoids which fire explosive fletchettes (it's actually possible to kill a Hunter with its own fletchettes), are extremely fast and agile, and have an excess of health. [[spoiler:They work as support for the Striders in the final sequence.]]
** The Warlord in ''DukeNukem 3D''.
** The Stone Gargoyle in ''Blood''.
** The Brute in ''{{Unreal}}''.
** Shamblers and Vores in ''{{Quake}}''.
** The Tank/Tank Commander in ''{{Quake}} II''.
*** Also the Supertank and Hornet, which first appear as boss-type encounters. And the Gladiator.
** Another Tank in Left4Dead, a monstrous Infected that is essentially what the Hulk would be if he was zombified.
* Hunters from ''{{Halo}}'' often serve as tag-teams of Giant Mooks, who usually attack the player separately from or with small groups of lesser Covenant troops. Unlike other Giant Mooks, Hunters are fairly common, at least in the first Halo game, but in later games -- especially Halo 3 -- they become BossInMookClothing encounters due to their rarity and the amount of power and toughness they possess.
** The Brute Chieftains and Flood Tank Forms in ''3'' are kind of this as well. Also the Sentinel Enforcers on Sacred Icon.
* Lenny in ''ShadowHearts: Covenant'', TheDragon to TheDragon Nicolai. He seems like nothing more than a brute at first, but he soon shows a softer side, and a late-game sidequest lets him PetTheDog several times. He returns in ''ShadowHearts: From The New World'' as main character Johnny's butler.
* In ''MegaManStarForce'', you'll sometimes find "G", or giant, versions of regular enemies. The only difference between them is that they have more HP and attack power. There's a whole sort of {{boss rush}} very late into the game where you have to fight off giant versions of nearly every enemy variant in the game.
* Karnov in ''Bad Dudes Vs DragonNinja'' appears as boss of level one, then (coloured green, for some reason) giant mook on the train.
* ''SuperSmashBros'' tends to use these. Extra-large versions of the normal characters have popped up ever since the original game, and are usually strong enough that players get allies in order to keep balance together. Brawl's Subspace Emissary mode uses giant versions of non-playable enemies -- they aren't particularly difficult, unless you have problems [[GoombaStomp stepping on a Goomba]] six times rather than one.
* In ''{{Persona 3}}'', as the party [[ItsAllUpstairsFromHere climbs]] [[EvilTowerOfOminousness Tartarus]], it will occasionally encounter special "Tower Bosses." These bosses are generally more powerful versions of the common enemy Shadows found on other floors and may even share some of the same weaknesses. However, they are often completely invulnerable to one or more types of attacks, meaning that you can sometimes waste turns trying to figure out exactly what those weaknesses are.
* The ''BreathOfFire'' series is fond of placing giant versions of basic enemies (generally, Eye Goos) as [[PinataEnemy experience pinatas.]] That's not to say that they are harmless, but they generally are worth every bit of trouble taking them down (that is, unless they have some glaring weakness, such as being highly vulnerable to Death spells as some of these Giants are).
* The Politician in level 6 of ''PrinceOfPersia''.
* Mr. Bubbles (or Big Daddy) from ''{{Bioshock}}'', a giant, armour-clad drill wielding child protector that makes whale noises.
* In ''MassEffect'', the geth's GiantMooks overlap with their EliteMooks, in the form of the appropriately named Destroyers, Juggernauts, and terrifyingly effective Primes. There's also geth Armatures and Collossi, which count as giant walking tanks.
* The ''Klonoa'' games feature giant versions of many types of enemies. They can be inflated like normal enemies with wind bullets, but this only immobilizes them; it doesn't let Klonoa pick up and throw them. They can only be defeated by throwing other enemies into them.
* ''GodHand'' has two giant mooks: The Sensei, a young Japanese-speaking Samurai that attacked Gene in Stage 7 and Tiger Joe, a kickboxer seemingly based on Sagat from StreetFighter fame who apppeared a few times in the latter levels.
* ''{{killer7}}'' introduces the Giant Smile enemy type in its third stage. Mostly identical to the ordinary Heaven Smiles, only at least six or seven metres tall and near-completely impervious to bullets, [[ForMassiveDamage except in its single eye]].
* ''Diablo II'' features semi-random giant mook enemies, called "Chamions" and "(Super) Unique Monsters", the latter which are normal monsters given a name and special enchantments ("Extra Strong," "Fire Immune"), as well as buffed up minion mooks. Both Mooks would also have increased HP, damage, grant extra experience points and other rewards upon death.
* Arguably, Regal is one of these until he joins the party in ''TalesOfSymphonia''.
* ''F.E.A.R.'' and its expansion packs feature 6.5-foot tall Replica Heavy Armor soldiers, who speak solely in howls and wear heavy metal plate armor that lets them absorb more than full drum mag of assault rifle fire before finally going down. They're pretty rare, though, limited to only 1 or 2 per level. The expansion packs introduce a new version of the Heavy Armor who also carries a minigun.
* ''Gears of War'' has 11-foot tall Boomers, giant Locusts with several times as much health as a standard Drone, who are armed with "boomshot" rocket launchers that kill you in a single hit.
* The 3 Human and 1 Skaarj factions in ''Unreal 2'' all field Heavy Power Armor soldiers that fit this trope.
* Appears in the final levels of ''Medal of Honor: Airborne'', of all places. As Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw puts it, "I'm no historian, but I'm pretty sure there wasn't an elite branch of stormtroopers who [[GasMaskMooks wore gas masks]], wielded miniguns, and could take three sniper bullets to the forehead before they died."
* ''ResidentEvil 4'' features several different GiantMooks, including large Ganados wearing potato sacks on their heads and carrying chainsaws, large Ganados carrying miniguns, and large Ganados with bulletproof metal sheets nailed to parts of their bodies, making them invincible from the front.
* ''ResidentEvil 5'' has its own giant mooks in the form of the "Fat Man" and "Tall Man" Majini. The high-pitched ululating from the tall one is borderline NightmareFuel.
* Many of the bosses of the ''DonkeyKongCountry'' games were giant versions of regular baddies--a fact [[LampshadeHanging pointed out]] in Cranky's commentary in the manual of ''[=DK64=]''.
* ''SuperMario Advance'' a remake of ''SuperMarioBros 2'', had giant Shy Guys and Ninjis. They took a lot longer to pick up and throwing them on the ground [[GameBreaker always produced hearts]].
* Just about every single boss in ''Yoshi's Island'' was a ''literal'' giant mook. They were simply supersized and mutated mooks that show up all over the place in the boss's home zone.
*''[[MetalGear Metal Gear Solid: VR Missions]]'' featured a couple of missions where you fight Genolla, a Godzilla-sized Genome Soldier. There's also Mecha Genolla and the Gurlugon in ''Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance''.
* The ''{{Castlevania}}'' series has its share of Giant Mooks; Giant [[GoddamnedBats Bat]] the RecurringBoss, giant skeletons, Peeping Big, just to name a few.
* The final stage of ''{{Gradius}} Gaiden'' has the third-to-last boss, Heavy [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Dakker/Ducker]], a giant version of those walking robots that walk on the floors and ceilings of some stages.
* [[InvertedTrope Inversion]]: some games in the ''{{Mario}}'' franchise (starting with ''Super Mario Brothers 3'') have the Micro-Goomba, a smaller (and ''much'' more annoying) version of the usual MascotMook.
** ''Super Mario World'' has the Thwimps, which are tiny versions of Thwomps.
* The third ''SuperMarioBros'' game had giant fish, giant cannons, giant Hammer Brothers, and World 4, where everything is gigantic. Pretty much every game afterward had this trope as well.
* ''PlantsVsZombies'' has the Gargantuar, which is a huge muscular zombie with a lot of health, and can instantly crush one of your plants in a single attack. Fortunately, he's kinda slow.
* Hulks and Juggernauts in the ''{{Marathon}}'' series. Hunters and Cyborgs also have giant PaletteSwap variations.
* Any giant (insert name of your favorite ''{{Touhou}}'' character here) that shows up in the fan-made game ''PatchCon''.
* ''The Legend of Zelda:Ocarina of Time'' produces one when you slaughter one too many standard enemies.
* WarioLand 2 has a multitude of Giant Gooms scattered across the later levels that act as sort of mini bosses for individual levels.
* SuperMario 64, anyone? For one level- Big and Tiny land, if this troper's memory serves- normal wee Goombas are replaced, in the Big version of the level, with Giant Goombas. They take three jumps, three punches or one good ground-pound to kill, and reward Mario with a blue coin.
* [[SpyroTheDragon Spyro: Year Of The Dragon]] has the level Charmed Ridge, where the enemies are spear-bearing rhynocs with metal armour, crossbow-wielding rhynocs with no armour, and cat wizards who do a variety of things, including moving steps, throwing rocks, trying to drop a statue on Spyro, throwing magical attacks at him, and making the other two enemies bigger. Making them bigger doesn't do much though- they can be killed with the attack used to kill their smaller forms. Killing the wizard makes them smaller instantly, for the record.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Web Animation]]
* In the midst of the reality warping nonsense of online flash series ''Madness'', a giant {{MIB}} (with his 6 foot caliber rifle) is seen in the episode "Madness Consternation". This is never explained.
** The episode after that, TWO giant {{Elite Mooks}} face the protagonist, each wielding a giant Desert Eagle pistol, both of which are dispatched. One by multiple rifle bullets to the face, and the other by his own bullet.
* In the realm of stick-figure combat animation, giant stick figures are popular, usually as the "boss" figure or as their [[TheDragon most powerful underling]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Web Comics]]
* The demon Bubbamonicus plays this role in the "That Which Redeems" arc of ''SluggyFreelance''.
* {{Dr McNinja}} fights one- weilding [[{{Chainsaw Good}} CHAINSAW-NUCHUNKAS.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Web Original]]
* A real GiantMook character in the ''WhateleyUniverse'' story "Boston Brawl 2". The BigBad hires some extra muscle, including Matterhorn, a supervillain who can become a forty-foot giant. Due to the physics of this universe, Matterhorn [[spoiler: gets his ass whupped by a 100-pound girl.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Western Animation]]
* In the ''{{Avatar the Last Airbender}}'' episode "Siege of the North", after easily defeating a group of standard-issue, hammer-wielding Fire Nation {{mooks}}, Aang is suddenly attacked by a single, much larger soldier. With ''two'' hammers! On chains! Almost gets him, too.
* This could apply to most Decepticons in ''TransformersAnimated'', since bar Blackarachnia they're all at least as big as the largest Autobot. Lugnut seems to be the most likely candidate for the part, as he's even larger than Megatron in terms of bulk.
* In ''CodeLyoko'', 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.
* The legendary [[HighlyVisibleNinja Sumo Ninja]] in TheMovie of ''KimPossible'' fits in, due to being a [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin sumo ninja]]. He was still beaten as easily as any other Mook...
* ''BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' must have had a lot of examples, one of which is the aptly-named "Rhino" thug in the entertaining episode "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, so...
* ''DarkwingDuck'' had the villainous Fiendish Organization for World Larceny (FOWL), along with a sizable group of mooks. This group had a single GiantMook, who could always put up a good fight.
