General Overview

Gargoyles owe their origins to humans, as much as they resist the idea. They began as a human construct dating back to ancient Egypt. They were symbols of protection and intimidation, embodiments of safety, and bastions of security against evil.

The power of human belief is a funny thing. Combined with just a touch of magic and what was once just a myth can become reality. In the case of the gargoyles, all it took was a particularly strong wave of magick, and stone became flesh.

Physical Description

In their human forms, they are as unique in appearance as normal humans, although they do tend to be on the taller side. The males on average 6’4” and the females 6’. They are heavier than expected.

In gargoyle form, again they are unique in appearance. The only real consistency is their wings are batlike, their incisors elongate, and they grow talons on hands and feet.

Clans/Packs/Covens

Gargoyles do not have organized clans or packs, although they do tend to work together and form close relationships with others of their kind.
