Spitting Gargoyle
A grotesque winged humanoid, it has a stony hide and wickedly-pointed horns. Its mouth is a gaping "O" like a water spout, and its chin is stained with a green patina of corrosion.

Like its cousin the common gargoyle, spitting gargoyles are cruel creatures taking great delight in torturing others just to watch their suffering.
Before closing to attack with their melee attacks, spitting gargoyles often dive to use their acid spit attacks initially to soften up their targets.
Other than the variations mentioned here, they in all other ways conform to the standard gargoyle as detailed in the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Bestiary.
