Many Gargoyles are master architects and sculptors, creating beautiful buildings and lifelike sculptures in reverence to Gond, God of Craft. This unwavering dedication stems from their worship of Tyr, God of Justice. Gargoyles have an unwavering sense of justice and strict laws that no Gargoyle will willingly break, as the punishment is often exile from their clan and a mark that labels them to all other clans.
Gargoyles are slow to trust outsiders, but once a person has gained the friendship of a Gargoyle, they have an ally that will stand by them under any circumstances.

Gargoyles are capable warriors, sculptors, and architects, creating elaborate castles and lifelike statues in their homeland.
Gargoyles stand between 5 and 7 feet tall with skin hues ranging from stony grey to earthen brown.
