Official Media MOTHER - Manga - Novel
Ninten! I am grateful to your family. Your Great-Grandparents, George and Maria raised me. But, George stole vital information from our planet that can be used to betray my people... And now, one of his descendants is obstructing our plans, and must be stopped!! Ninten! I am talking about you! Go home now! Perish with the rest of the ugly Earth People. Foolish one, you cannot do a thing with your meager powers... Powers worthy of a lowly insect. Ninten! You alone, I may save you. Just you alone. Board our Mother Ship with me... then, fall into a long sleep with your friends and the other ugly earth people.

The form of Giygas’s attack was inexplicable!

Stop singing.

STOP singing!

STOP! Stop the song!

STOP IT!! STOP THAT SONG!

You puny little Earth bugs! Shut up, and STOP singing!!

The SONG...

STOP IT!!! !!!!!

Stop... Pleeease, stop!

!!!!!!!


........How could I be defeated by a song like that? I will... sometime... Ninten! We SHALL meet again!

Versus Giegue

Ness! Are you surprised? It’s me, Porky. You know! Me, Porky, ally of the strong! Man, you look really pathetic now, you know that? The “Apple of Wisdom” perfectly predicted that you guys would finally make it here. But things won’t go the way the Apple of Wisdom says. You’re going to be defeated, and Master Giygas will become even more powerful and even more terrifying. Why, you ask? ‘Cause of me, of course! It was thanks to Master Giygas’s guidance that I, the great Porky, made it here. The Apple of Wisdom never predicted this. …Master Giygas – no, just plain ol’ Giygas – is the embodiment of evil… Or so it might seem, but that’s not the case. Giygas has becomeevil” itself… Evil energy which not even he can control.
-Porky Minch upon confronting the chosen four
I understand you guys are already claiming to be heroes. Well, it is a gazillion years too early for you to oppose Giygas! You must feel pretty stupid to keep fighting without even knowing what Giygas looks like! If you were to ever see Giygas, you'd be so petrified with fear, you'd never be able to run away! ...That's how scary it is! So, do you want me to turn off the "Devil's Machine?" Well, prepare to be amazed!
Pokey Means Business
So, isn't this terrifying? I'm terrified too. Giygas cannot think rationally anymore, and he isn't even aware of what he is doing now. His own mind was destroyed by his incredible power. What an all-mighty idiot! Yep, that's what he is! Heh heh heh heh... and you... you will be... just another meal to him!
-Porky describing Giygas
You cannot grasp the true form of Giygas' attacks!
Ness...Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness....I’m h..a..p..p..y… …friends…
Ness! Ah, Grrr, Ohhh… Argh… Yaaagh!… It’s not right… not right… not right
It hurts, Ness...…It hurts, …it hurts…
...go...b...a...c...k....
I feel g...o...o...d...
…I’m so sad… …..Ness

Giygas's theme
The Evil Giygas Attacks!

Background

Giygas (originally Gyiyg, also mistranslated in MOTHER's localization as Giegue) is the main antagonist of MOTHER (localized as EarthBound Beginnings) and its sequel, MOTHER 2 (localized as EarthBound). He was raised at infancy by a human couple that was kidnapped from Earth, named George and Maria. Due to George learning the powers of his race and escaping, Giygas was forced to invade Earth in order to prevent the spread of PSI, but he was defeated by Ninten and his friends through a special lullaby that Maria sung to him during his childhood. Sometime after his defeat at the hands of Ninten, Giygas was driven mad and inexplicably gained unimaginable power, transforming himself into an eldritch abomination that embodies evil itself. He is ultimately killed in his fated confrontation with Ness when Paula calls upon the Player.

His influence has also extended to Thanksgiving, causing strong monsters to attack the civilians trying to go to the train station. His influence has also extended to Halloween, where the monster It's noted that Giygas' influence is causing major panics breaking out everywhere. Similar scenarios are shown in MOTHER 2, where Buzz Buzz notes that all the enemies attacking Ness are sent by Giygas due to the influence over the evil in their minds, with it being noted that MOTHER 2's surname for Giygas Strikes Back is due to Giygas not dying and returning[1][2]), Hell Manipulation & Corruption (Giygas influences the evil in one's heart and uses it to control them), Life Manipulation (Giygas' influence makes cars and trucks sentient), Necromancy (Noted to be the one controlling the dead, creating pseudo-zombies, dead gang members, ghosts, etcetera)

Equipment

Notable Techniques

  • Inexplicable Attack: Giygas attacks with an incomprehensible psychic power to deal damage to all targets. It ignores resistances and shields. In Mother 2, his incomprehensible attack can have the properties of PK Flash Omega, PK Freeze Beta, or PK Thunder Beta.
  • Evil Influences: One of Giygas’s special and main abilities, which allows him to corrupt any victim caught by this and causes them to bend to his will. As described by Buzz Buzz, this mind manipulating technique influences the evil in someone’s heart, providing Giygas full control over them; typically turning them violent and distressed to fully serve Giygas’s will. This ability has worked on a great variety of beings that aren’t just restricted to humans such as Inanimate objects, Ghosts, Zombies, Abstract beings, Animals, and goes as far as to block off the Universal System from interacting with Ness in his Magicant. It’s worth noting that he’s able to control enemies even inside metaphysical universe where abstract beings based on the users psyche resides in, along with slowly corrupt beings of pure heart such as Ness.
  • PK Rockin: A powerful psychokinetic wave that damages all enemies. It is not resisted by any enemies but is the only offensive PSI that can be avoided.

Other

Standard Tactics: Giygas will attack his opponent with inexplicable PSI. When he is released from the Devil's Machine, he is almost completely unaware of what he is doing and does not use any strategy.

Weaknesses: Giygas is filled with guilt during his fight against Ninten, with Ninten and co. using Maria's Lullaby to make him flee. | Giygas is vulnerable to brainshock. | Giygas is vulnerable to Brainshock. Prayers can greatly damage him and reduce his defense, and can potentially kill him if they are strong enough (such as when Paula reached out to The Player).

Battle Records

0-2-0

None.


  • Ninten, Ana, & Lloyd - Fight
    • Conditions: Ninten, Lloyd, & Ana all teamed up, needing to sing to defeat Giygas.
    • Location: Top of Mt. Itoi

None.

References

  1. The Subtitle: “Giygas Strikes Back”
    Itoi In the last game, MOTHER 1, Giygas appeared as the final boss, but he didn’t actually end up dying. That’s why the subtitle this time is “Giygas Strikes Back.” It’s really straightforward, but it fits (laughs). So it’s pretty clear that he’s the one you face at the end!
    — Does that mean the main character is the same as last time?
    Itoi The player names the main characters, so those who played M1 might use those same names this time. But people who started the series from M2 might feel like everything starts at that point. That’s why you can either see them as the same kid, or as two different kids.
    — Hmm, like it could go either way.
    Itoi I see no problem with thinking of them as the same person. It’s fine if people see them as different, though. I leave it up to them to decide.
  2. Profile Note: Nothing implies Giygas' influence is a new ability of his and Itoi treats it as his return from MOTHER 1 thus using Giygas' influence from MOTHER 2 is considered fine, it also functions the same as many of the enemies in MOTHER 1
  3. "PSI is a mysterious and useful power that can replenish your energy or even assist in your transportation needs. Using PSI will deplete your PP." MOTHER 3 Memo Description
  4. Itoi: Basically, Giygas is something you can’t make sense of, you know? But there’s also a part to him that’s like a living being that deserves love. That part is the breast of Hisako Tsukuba from “The Military Policeman and the Dismembered Beauty”. (NOTE: you can see a summary of this movie here)
