Gargathons are enemies in Into the Nexus. They are immense dragon-like lifeforms native to Thram in the Polaris Galaxy. Their gargathon horns are highly valuable, and the Smuggler came to Thram in search of them. The horns were found in gargathon fossils and in living gargathons, with fossils yielding a single horn while living gargathons yielded four.
As well as the gargathons encountered on Thram, a rabig gargathon was taken to the Thugs-4-Less' Destructapalooza tournament on Kragg.
Ratchet and Clank first encountered the rabid gargathon in the Destructapalooza, before later battling gargathons on Thram for the Smuggler.
History[]
The Thugs-4-Less searched three systems for the "meanest, ugliest" gargathon they could find.[1]
At some point, the Smuggler came to Thram in search of gargathon horns. When Ratchet and Clank arrived, he first assigned them "Find 10 Gargathon horns" in exchange for hoverboots. After doing so, he assigned Ratchet "Trade 30 horns for access to the fuel station" and "Sell horns to the Smuggler", where he promised to pay Ratchet a fair price for all the horns Ratchet brought him.[2]
Characteristics[]
Gargathons were massive, dangerous, orange creatures, sometimes referred to as demons.[3] They have yellow eyes and white torsos, and extremely valuable, blue ivory horns atop their heads. The creatures attack by spitting a green beam upon their prey, capable of mass damage. They could also summon serathoids or bursting blekkos for backup if they needed to do so.
Gargathons on Thram are found flying around the Hagrow Swampland, lurking inside deep swamps or flying around from a distance. It is likely they fed on serathoids. Though not seen outside of Thram and Kragg, the Thugs-4-Less' search over three systems[1] implies they could be present elsewhere in Polaris.
