  The most prominent successes of weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP)
models of dark matter are at comoving scales of megaparsecs. At kiloparsec
scales they face challenges in explaining the density profiles, abundances and
phase space distributions of satellite galaxies in our local group. An
alternate dark matter candidate, the giant 't Hooft-Polyakov monopole, is
proposed which may share the large distance successes of WIMPs while evading
their short distance problems. These are classical field theory solutions of a
dark sector including a nonabelian gauge field, an adjoint scalar field and
fundamental fermions. In such models each halo consists of a single monopole
characterized by a conserved integer charge.
