D&D General Gargoyles need to be redone.

[Shades of Eternity]

Honestly, a cathedral getting a gargoyle would be like getting a stray dog or cat. they would be adored by the locals and considered a gift from the gods.

...and the next time the Vikings invade your cathedrals/monasteries/nunneries, they will get one hell of a surprise as that scary statue guts them. <evil grin>

Why would it be a surprise, if no one ever sees a gargoyle in D&D world that's not a monstrous gargoyle? The natural thing would be for attackers to them fire on them at a distance and take them out.

If every chest adventurers found was a mimic, no one would ever be fooled by them.

As for gargoyles, I'm a pretty hard Keith David fan and this introduced me to him. I would say Goliath, but Hudson always amused me as well. It's fun having a lovable old-timer as the group's wisdom, especially with his pet "dog."

Brooklyn fan here. After him, I had a liking for the Heraldic Gargoyles in the London clan and Zafiro.

Btw, there were several online Gargoyle sagas based off of the Gargoyles series. An alternate third season to the original Gargoyles series- the Goliath Chronicles. The Timedancer Saga which involved Brooklyn and the Phoenix Gate. The Pendragon series which had King Arthur and Griff searching for Merlin. The Dark Ages saga, a prequel series to the Disney Gargoyles series.
