Smashing Gargantuar is a premiumuncommonzombiecard in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes, and a member of the Beastly class. He can also be made by Gargantuar-Throwing Imp. He costs 5 to play, and has 5/5. He does not have any traits, and his ability gives all Gargantuar zombies on the field, including him, the Frenzy trait. This ability persists until all Smashing Gargantuars are removed from the field.
When he phones home, it means something completely different.

Strategies
With
Smashing Gargantuar himself is very powerful. He is strong enough to clear a lane of plants, then strike your opponent. And with other Gargantuars on the field, the devastation he causes gets even more massive.
Smashing Gargantuar synergizes with every Beastly hero, but the hero who can use him the best is The Smash, as the Hearty class has access to the most Gargantuar zombies (aside from the Beastly class), as well as Gargologist which can lower the cost of this zombie so it can be played earlier to put pressure on your opponent.
Keep in mind, however, that all Gargantuars are vulnerable to Template:PvZHLink unless one's strength has been lowered, so using this along with other Gargantuars against a Guardian hero is quite risky, as they may have Doom-Shroom cards in their deck.
Against
Smashing Guargantuar is a very dangerous zombie, but there are a few ways to easily take care of it. You can play Template:PvZHLink or Template:PvZHLink to get rid of him, or even better, Doom-Shroom, since it destroys all Gargantuars at once compared to the former two. If you are going to play Doom-Shroom, however, it is recommended to see if you have any plants with 4 or more on the field, as they also get destroyed from it. You can also play Shamrocket to get rid of him.

Trivia
His description is a reference to the movie E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and its famous quote "E.T., phone home", which can also mean to call friends or family at someone's house.
Prior to update 1.14.13, he and Imp-Throwing Gargantuar were the only Basic - Common Gargantuar cards.
