Gargoyles are fearsome, predatory golem-like creatures that are occasionally encountered in ruins or large caves. They are quite intelligent and will generally hunt anything they can easily catch. Since gargoyles can remain motionless for long periods of time and have cracked, stony skin, they are often mistaken for statues - the gargoyles use this circumstance to surprise an opponent with their attack. Gargoyles always attack with bare claws, as their fingers are too immobile to wield a weapon. Young gargoyles are quite capable of making two attacks per round of combat; however, as gargoyles age, they become more immobile and clumsy in their attacks as they slowly turn to stone as they age. While gargoyles are easily tamed with domination spells, they appear to be immune to all other forms of magic. What is particularly interesting about gargoyles is that, unlike real golems, they can reproduce.
Height: 9-11 spans Weight: 400-600 stones CR 12 d6+10 AT 12/6 (2 per round)* PA 6 LP 40 4d6+26 AR 2* Damage 2 * d6+3* MP 1 END 100 MR -6* Danger 12

For every 10 years of life, a gargoyle loses one point on both AT and PA, eventually dropping to zero and the gargoyle finally petrifying. On the other hand, he gains one point to RS and TP for every 10 years of life. *** Against domination spells; Gargoyles are immune to transformation and clairvoyance, and counter combat spells with their armor class.
