Giygas, also known as Giegue in Mother, is the main antagonist in Mother and EarthBound. Giygas was raised from an early age by a woman named Maria and her husband George, both of whom were abducted from Earth in the early 1900s.

Mt. Itoi
"(Ninten hears the voice of Queen Mary) Giegue cannot be defeated with force... You cannot defeat Giegue with a weapon of any kind. You must SING my lullaby, with all your feelings... SING my lullaby with all your heart."

In Mother, Giygas leads an army of aliens and robots in an invasion of planet Earth, starting eighty years after George's escape from captivity at the hands of Giygas' faction. The operations of Giygas' forces consist primarily of abducting and harrying the citizens of the region of America in which they are stationed.

Atop Mt. Itoi, Giygas is confronted by Ninten and his companions. Before the fight actually begins, Giygas offers to spare Ninten's life and allow him to come with him back to his home planet, presumably out of respect for Ninten's great-grandparents, who raised Giygas. Ninten declines, and after being turned down, Giygas attacks him. Once in battle, Giygas is immune to all forms of attack; while he still appears to take damage, his HP is effectively bottomless. Instead, Ninten and his friends must repeatedly attempt to sing the Eight Melodies, hoping to remind Giygas of his memories of Maria. Eventually, as Ninten and company finally managed to finish the song, the emotional stress becomes too much for Giygas to handle, and he retreats, calling back his forces and promising that he and Ninten will meet again.

The player cannot name a character Giegue.

Cave of the Past

In EarthBound, Giygas has gained unimaginable amounts of power. 10 years after the time period of EarthBound, Giygas invades Earth and discovers the Apple of Enlightment. When the Apple predicts his downfall at the hands of Ness, Giygas travels ten years into the past to defeat him and to halt his progress. Buzz Buzz, a survivor of Giygas' invasion, also travels back in time to inform Ness of Giygas' actions.

During EarthBound, Giygas influences people, animals, and inanimate objects over Earth. Ness and his friends (deemed the Chosen Four) encounter his presence via wild animals, sentient plants, and otherworldly creatures. The Mani-Mani Statue also assists in spreading Giygas' domination by inducing control over people such as Mr. Carpainter and Geldegarde Monotoli. Spiteful of Ness as well, Pokey Minch also allies with Giygas.

As Ness gains the power of all eight Your Sanctuary locations, Giygas begins his invasion of Earth in the Eagleland city of Onett. Ness, along with Paula, Jeff, and Poo travel back in time using the Phase Distorter to face Giygas in the Cave of the Past. Enclosed within the Devil's Machine, Pokey Minch states that Giygas' unfathomable power destroyed him and his mind, and as such, he can only be truly manifested in an incomprehensible form that takes place in a mysterious dimension: a dimension that is revealed to Ness and his friends when Pokey turns off the Devil's Machine. Giygas remains undefeatable by physical attacks; rather, he is destroyed by Paula's prayers to the people of Earth and to the player itself, exposing his weakness to emotion. Giygas disintegrates and ceases to exist, ending his evil influence over the world.

In battle

First form

Giygas BG1.png
"Pokey Means Business!"
"Giygas Stirs"
See also: Heavily Armored Pokey

Giygas' first phrase is from within the Devil's Machine: The main threat is the now-Heavily Armored Pokey, who uses a variety of attacks against Ness and his party. Giygas is capable of using PSI Rockin: a PSI ability previously only available to Ness and Ness's Nightmare. Giygas has a shield that reflects all attacks: physical and psychic. It is impossible to remove this shield, making him invincible to any attacks. Any shield that Ness' party places will not work: Giygas' attacks will reflect off the player's shield and back from his own shield, hitting Ness and his party in the progress. He is vulnerable to PSI Magnet and Brainshock.

Meanwhile, Pokey's attacks range from a very stinky gas that lowers Offense and one damage-dealing attack. Pokey is vulnerable to Paralysis, allowing the player to deal damage with Bashing, PSI moves, and bottle rockets. Pokey has 2000 HP: Once his health is depleted, he will taunt the party and turn off the Devil's Machine, revealing Giygas' true form.

Text Effect

PSI Rockin α 40-120 points of damage to all enemies
PSI Rockin β 90-270 points of damage to all enemies
Text Effect
Heavily Armored Pokey's attacks

Second form

Giygas.png
"Giygas' Intimidation"
"Giygas is Wounded!"

When the Devil's Machine is turned off, Ness and his friends are trapped in a strange dimension, where Giygas is now susceptible to physical and psychic attacks of all kinds (Big Bottle Rockets, however, will not work). Giygas himself, crippled mentally by his power, communicates via mysterious calls to Ness, statements of sadness, and feelings of tortured happiness. His attacks cannot be comprehended—indeed, all his attacks are prefaced by "You cannot grasp the true form of Giygas' attack!".

In this form, Giygas, having 2000 HP, must be hit with the player's best attacks, while keeping health high enough to avoid death.

Text Effect
Incomprehensible attack (PSI Thunder β) 60-180 points of damage to two random enemies
Incomprehensible attack (PSI Flash Ω) 3/8 (37.5%) chance of crying
1/8 (12.5%) chance of strangeness
1/8 (12.5%) chance of paralysis
3/8 (37.5%) chance of instant defeat
Incomprehensible attack Deals high-level damage to one party member
"Ness..." No effect

Third form

Giygas BG3.png
"Giygas is Fatally Wounded!"
"Giygas Disintegrates"

Once enough damage has been dealt to Giygas, Pokey will return to taunt the Chosen Four again and will then leave the party with Giygas once more. This time, Giygas, while barely wounded, remains invincible: Although attacks can successfully hit him, Giygas will never run out of health. The only way to destroy Giygas is to have Paula Pray.

Text Effect
Incomprehensible attack (PSI Thunder β) 60-180 points of damage to two random enemies
Incomprehensible attack Three random attacks
"Ness..." No effect
