Gargoyle
Source: Harker's Guide to Vampire Hunting
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.
