A species of winged, vaguely humanoid creatures. They have an insect-like culture, with one fertile "queen", a few males, and a lot of sterile workers. Most people only see the "worker gargoyles." They are not native to Ghea, being one of the races that fell through a Chaos Gate way back when, and have mostly kept to themselves since. Whether or not they are intelligent is open to debate. The workers are about the size of a gorilla, and have tough leathery skin and bat-like wings. They have short horns and bony projections on their skulls and down their spines which are sort of like fingerprints; no two alike. They have clumsy three-fingered hands and feet. They are not actually made of stone, but they can sit motionless waiting for prey on rock ledges, and their greyish coloring and the bony projections act as camouflage, letting them blend into the rock. Gargoyles prefer to live in caves and may construct tunnels if no natural caves are available.

Gargoyle wings are leathery and batlike, and rather small. They are not much good for flying, and at best help the gargoyle keep its balance while climbing from ledge to ledge.

No one has seen the queen or drone gargoyles in living memory, but the queen is rumored to be much larger than the workers. Gargoyles are omnivorous but prefer meat.
