| - Although the creature was not named in the film, in the documentary Inside the Labyrinth and the production notes, Jim Henson calls it "Humongous." He also says that the creature weighs "a lot." Humongous was operated by a single performer, and is the largest puppet the Creature Shop had built up to that time.
- Humongous is a giant robot that guards the entrance to the Goblin City and a villain from the 1986 dark fantasy movie Labyrinth. Humongous serves as a, well, "humongous" defense against city intruders and invaders alike. He is composed of two body halves, each half on one door of the inner gate to the Goblin City. When the doors close, the body fuses together and breaks free, attacking with a giant axe. It is unclear whether Humongous was the one speaking or whether it was the goblin with its voice mechanically altered, as the goblin has a larger vocabulary.

- Humongous is a giant robot that guards the entrance to the Goblin City and a villain from the 1986 dark fantasy movie Labyrinth. Humongous serves as a, well, "humongous" defense against city intruders and invaders alike. He is composed of two body halves, each half on one door of the inner gate to the Goblin City. When the doors close, the body fuses together and breaks free, attacking with a giant axe. Humongous has a deep, reverberating voice and only seems to say "Who goes?" Interestingly, no one tries to answer, which might very well have stopped the attack, given the Labyrinth's penchant for obvious answers as solutions. While attacking the human girl Sarah Williams and her friends at the city gates, Humongous is revealed to be a mech suit piloted by a tiny Goblin, even smaller than Hoggle, who reveals wings as he flutters down when defeated and the head of Humongous is ripped off. It is unclear whether Humongous was the one speaking or whether it was the goblin with its voice mechanically altered, as the goblin has a larger vocabulary.
