GARGOYLE
Gargoyles are a type of gorgon that often appear to be winged humanoids. They can perch indefinitely without moving and transform into stone statues, allowing them to surprise their foes. Gargoyles tend toward obsessive-compulsive behaviors that are as varied as their kind is plentiful. Books, stolen trinkets, weapons, and grisly trophies harvested from fallen foes are just a few examples of the types of things a gargoyle might collect to decorate its lair and territory. Gargoyles tend toward a solitary lifestyle, though they sometimes form fearsome clans. Gargoyles have been known to dwell in the heart of the largest of cities, crouching amid the decorations of stone cathedrals and buildings where they hide in plain sight by day and swoop down to feed on humanoid victims at night. Some gargoyles even forge alliances with humanoids, serving as guards and assassins by restricting their predation only to intruders.

The longer gargoyles abide in a region of ruins or buildings, the more they come to resemble that region's architectural styles. The changes a gargoyle's appearance undergoes are slow and subtle, but over the course of years, it can shift radically.
