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.
