Many architects have utilized fearsome-looking statues crouching on the walls and parapets of mighty buildings, claiming that the menacing sentinels ward off evil. While a majority of gargoyles are truly nothing more than statues, some - especially those in Shadowcroft - actually possess great power. These creatures truly can ward off evil, though they tend not to distinguish between one morality and the next and typically attack anyone that tries to enter uninvited.
Gargoyle Elder
As gargoyles are made of stone, many live for hundreds if not thousands of years. Gargoyle elders have kept their silent vigil for centuries and are ruthlessly skilled at determining how best to frighten away intruders.
