Description
A Gargoyle is a mystical creature made of a stone-like substance during the day but by night they become flesh. In contemporary fiction, gargoyles are typically depicted as a winged humanoid race with demonic features (generally horns, a tail, talons, and may or may not have a beak).
Despite their scary appearance, Gargoyles are guardians and protectors and have a variety of powers and abilities. They are immune to the passing of time, can take on human form, can fly, and being made of stone, cannot be wounded in the way other creatures can. In some fantasy-based games, gargoyles are capable of turning other beings into stone by touching them.
That said, gargoyles do have their limitations. Most cannot venture far from their lair, they cannot move in the daylight, and turn inanimate when exposed to the sun's rays.
