Composed of rock, the gargoyle is a statue come to life at the hand of an ambitious mage. Mostly irate at the world and grumbling to itself about anything from the state of the Elven nation to the weather, the gargoyle does not look so much inclined to fight as it is to curl up in a corner and look frightening. Still, it knows its task as a protector of its creator's domain, and will do its best to keep invaders from treading on its turf.
They do this nifty stomp technique at melee that can serious hurt you. If you die they'll stomp your head to a bloody pulp sometimes if they're at melee, it won't bleed but is still trouble for empaths.
