✅ Verified for Java 26.2 · Bedrock 26.32 — checked June 2026

Summons the Giant, a classic oversized zombie that only exists in Java Edition and towers roughly 12 blocks tall. It has no AI by default, so it stands frozen in place, which makes it useful for statues, map decor, or jump-scare builds. Kill it with /kill @e[type=giant] if it gets in the way.
