Like its cousin, the stone gargoyle, the lesser stone gargoyle was a grey, granite carving originally placed to overlook the castle's walls. Now animated, it pounds about on powerful hind legs looking for beings it can smash into dust. It has a demon's face, with pointed beard, ruby eyes and long, sweeping goat horns. Bat wings, useless for flying, adorn its scaly back.

Hunting strategies

• They are fairly slow, so stance dance works well if necessary.
• They have a very low DS for their level as well so getting to them before they get to you is a good defense.
• Staying in stance advance or stance forward to avoid being able to be hit at all, and should still allow for a good enough AS to hit them.
• Because of their low perception ambushing is very easy, and when they're legged their AS drops to around 140.

Sample Hunting Map:

• Starting Room: 7000
• Boundary rooms: 7014, 6998, 3705, 7035, 7028, 7031

Other information

• Cannot be stunned.
• Low perception.
• Non-magical weapons have a chance to shatter upon attack.

Messaging

A lesser stone gargoyle opens its mouth and a low growl escapes, reverberating in your chest.

You hear the creaking and grinding of stone as a lesser stone gargoyle comes alive right before your eyes!

You swing your short sword at the stone gargoyle, shattering it against the stone gargoyle's hard skin!

A lesser stone gargoyle leaps at you with amazing speed and accuracy. Summoning up some hidden reserves, you dash out of the gargoyle's way. Incredible! Death Messaging The stone gargoyle rears its head, screaming, trying desperately to stand and then it collapses. With a final labored breath it stops moving.
