  We report the discovery of a super-Jovian planet in the microlensing event
KMT-2016-BLG-1836, which was found by the Korea Microlensing Telescope
Network's high-cadence observations (\Gamma ~ 4~{hr}^{-1}). The planet-host
mass ratio q ~ 0.004. A Bayesian analysis indicates that the planetary system
is composed of a super-Jovian M_{planet} = 2.2_{-1.1}^{+1.9} M_{J} planet
orbiting an M or K dwarf M_{\rm host} = 0.49_{-0.25}^{+0.38} M_{Sun}, at a
distance of D_{L} = 7.1_{-2.4}^{+0.8} kpc. The projected planet-host separation
is 3.5^{+1.1}_{-0.9} AU, implying that the planet is located beyond the
snowline of the host star. Future high-resolution images can potentially
strongly constrain the lens brightness and thus the mass and distance of the
planetary system. Without considering detailed detection efficiency, selection
or publication biases, we find a potential "mass ratio desert" at -3.7 \lesssim
\log q \lesssim -3.0 for the 31 published KMTNet planets.
