The stone gargoyle, an animated being, was once a huge, grey, granite carving that overlooked the castle walls. Standing over fifteen feet tall on its powerful hind legs, the stone gargoyle was sculpted with a body similar to a lion's and a head that is a grotesque union between a human and a bat. Long horns protrude from the forehead and needle-like fangs extend menacingly below the upper lip. Swirling, yellow-green eyes, the only non-rock portion of the beast's anatomy, coldly examine the surrounding area.

Hunting strategies

Stone gargoyles are immune to most offensive spells. Their Round Time on attacks is also very low (4-5 seconds) so using abilities to slow them down (such as a Paladin's Pious Trial (1602)) is recommended.

Other information

Stone Gargoyles can leap at you causing minor damage and potentially inflicting a stun...

A stone gargoyle leaps at you with amazing speed and accuracy. You jump back, but the gargoyle manages to claw you.

  ... 15 points of damage!
  Slash to your right arm!
  Slices neatly through the skin and meets bone!
  You are stunned for 1 round!

A stone gargoyle pants in slow heaves as it recovers from the exertion.

Stone gargoyles can fall on adventurers when killed, unless previously knocked down. This can cause serious injury.

They cannot be skinned.
