GARGANTUAN

Gargantuans are creatures of truly immense proportion. Every gargantuan is of Gargantuan size, and most take up a space of at least 8x8 (and sometimes much more). Gargantuans, sometimes called kaiju or devastation beasts, are tremendous forces of nature of incredible power, and when they are awoken or otherwise come into contact with civilized areas, incredible destruction results.

Gargantuans of different types often fight when they meet.

With wings this big beating this fast, there begs to be a damaging push/prone aura around this critter, for lesser creatures anyway.

It IS 30th level after all. I think it isn't going to break anything and it just adds flavor which is buzzing (sorry) to be there.

Great idea! I'll add that in!

(Note that it's an elite, not a solo. This is because I love the idea of an encounter with two battling giant monsters. )

Odds are that I'll be reimagining a lot of the gargantuans I do- and prolly largely making new or tweaked types.

Reptilian will go on the list, though possibly at 29th level.
