Gargoyle

Adapted from Pathfinderwiki- Gargoyle

Gargoyles are bestial sentinels made of elemental stone. Their resemblance to decorative statues, allow them to hide in plain sight in cities during the day and descend upon unlucky intruders at night. Their most common form is that of a horned humanoid with bat-like wings, but individual gargoyles can show a great deal of variation, with some appearing more or less humanoid and others resembling no known creature. A gargoyle’s features are not fixed; city-dwelling Gargoyles who remain in the same locale long enough slowly morph, day by day, to match the style of the local architecture. These patient monsters can stay disguised for long stretches of time as they patiently defend their charge.
Sentient gargoyles are able to move from the architectural base and fly, despite their dense mineral nature.

Civilization and Culture

Culture and Cultural Heritage

Gargoyles tend to band into tribes called “wings” for protection. Wings can become relatively stable communities, and gargoyles in wings may even ally with other creatures.  Gargoyles are collectors, focusing on anything from books to trophies, while others are ritualistic or overly passionate about niche intellectual subjects or certain artistic motifs.
