Gargoyles appeared to be winged statues of Demon-like humanoids, but were actually vicious predators imbued with magic. These creatures could stand motionless for long periods of time, which added to the façade of their statue-like appearance. Able to maintain this state for years, a gargoyle made for an ideal sentry.
Gargoyles clung to rocky cliffs and mountains, or roosted on ledges in underground caves. They haunted city rooftops, perching Vulture-like among high stone arches, and ambushed their opponents, either by moving suddenly from their motionless state or by suddenly swooping down on their prey from a height.
Gargoyles were ferocious creatures, often attacking any creature they detected, and loved to inflict pain. They would torture any victims they could hold helpless, going so far as eating them just to hear their screams even though they required no food to survive, and so they much preferred intelligent races over anything else.
