Margoyle Gargoyle
This creature looks like a hideously ugly humanoid chiseled of brown stone. Two large horns protrude from its head, just above its eyes. Four large stony spikes jut from its shoulder blades. Its hands and feet end in sharpened claws.

A margoyle is a slightly larger version of the standard gargoyle. It is meaner, eviler, and deadlier than the normal gargoyle. Margoyles are most often encountered in subterranean regions and often have a pack of gargoyles with them. In such cases, the margoyle is looked upon as the master or leader of the group.
