Gargoyles

You've seen similarly named statues atop of cathedrals and other old architecture, and surprisingly, these statues are not too far off from the truth. Gargoyles are creatures of protection, it is their main and most would say their best feature. In fact, their appearances are grotesque specifically to intimidate and drive off would­be attackers. Gargoyles aren't big on conversation though, they're more like the silent vigilante keeping an eye on you, your home, your loved ones, and your possessions if you so desire. They come in both male and female forms but curiously enough, they do appear to be made of stone. It only looks like stone to us with our human perceptions when in fact, it is a different material, but in keeping with the differences of stones types, their appearances do also come in many different stone types like ruby, granite, white marble, etc.

They can range from slightly humanoid, to animalistic, to outright beastly. The "material" their skin looks like does not seem to hold any sort of rank or class, they are a largely equal community where no one is "better" than another. This also does not mean that the color of their skin defines how much 'stronger' they are than another. For example, diamond being the toughest mineral in our realm wouldn't make a diamond gargoyle the strongest (or most valuable) in his/her realm. Despite their personalities, they are all very loyal.Though their personalities are largely business only types, there are still a few more willing to break the mold than others, yet these are harder to find. Do know that when you bring a gargoyle home, you'll definitely have to give them a thorough explanation of what you want from them, what your house rules are, and how you want things done. Gargoyles won't kill folks just because you asked, they are grey in nature but in keeping with our beliefs, they are they are capable of dark deeds to protect the ones they love. They are for protection, not for revenge.
