Regigigas is a important supporting character from Giratina and the Sky Warrior.
Regigigas lives in a temple in the mountains of Gracidea. It had been asleep for centuries, for so long that moss began to grow on its body.
However, when Zero entered the Reverse World and began shattering pillars of ice within it, the glacier immediately in front of Regigigas' temple suffered catastrophic explosions and began moving. This disturbed the great titan's slumber, rousing it into action.
When Dawn's Buneary and Swinub failed to stop the glacier with the help of a large group of wild Pokémon, including Bidoof, Bibarel, Snover and others, Regigigas appeared in the command of a herd of dozens of Mamoswine and together, they began pushing on the glacier to hold it back. Though at first they managed to still its movement and move it back slightly, in the end they too failed. It was only when Giratina healed the broken ice pillars in the Reverse World that the glacier stopped.
Regigigas returned to its temple at the end of the movie, where it is seen using Hyper Beam on Team Rocket during the credits.

Trivia
- The first teaser for the movie showed Regigigas' hand and upper body emerging from a flowery field. This, along with the fact that it was prominently featured in an early poster for the film, led many to believe that it would be the star of the movie, until Giratina's role was revealed.
- This also happened with Palkia, who was shown in the same teaser and poster, yet only appeared in a cameo during Newton Graceland's flashback to the events of The Rise of Darkrai.
- Regigigas living in a temple near a glacier may be a reference to Snowpoint Temple, where it lives in the Diamond and Pearl and Platinum games.
- Usually, Regigigas awakening requires the presence of Regirock, Regice and Registeel. Regigigas' awakening without them present may hint that there are other ways to bring it to life.
