   Gargoyles are instinctive protectors—guardians bound to their "castle" or protectorate. Their loyalty is not based on affection or approval; they will defend even those who fear or hate them. This protective nature is the foundation of their society and identity.

   Enemies' Perception: Due to their fearsome appearance and nocturnal activity, enemies often refer to them as “demons”, they are not demons. They perched themselves on the outside of the castle during the day if they have the time to pick where they sleep.

   • Nocturnal, turn to stone during daylight. Day – Stone Form: Unyielding Cycle: At sunrise, gargoyles turn to stone instantly, no matter where they are—even in mid-air. Locked in Place: Their bodies freeze in their exact position, posture, or motion. If airborne, they will fall and risk shattering on impact. Unconscious & Vulnerable: Once stone, they are unaware and defenseless. They cannot act, respond, or awaken until sunset. Conditional Healing: Only those who survive until sunrise will heal. The transformation into stone repairs all wounds from the previous night—but if their injuries are too severe and they don’t receive aid before dawn, they will die. Finality of Death: If a gargoyle is shattered in stone form, death is absolute. There is no return. Night – Living Form: Transformed to flesh, blood, and bone at sunset. Awakening: stone cracks and bursts as they emerge from their statues. Full mobility: capable of walking, running, climbing, and gliding (if winged). Talons: sharp enough to pierce solid stone, uses to climb. Strength: can lift and hurl boulders with ease.
