 A March On Discord Exclusive. 

---

A species of nocturnal creatures known as gargoyles that turn to stone during the day. These creatures were shifted with the help of the druids of the support faction and Grand master Xeno 1.0. Once these malevolent creatures of elemental earth resembled grotesque, fiendish statues. Found lurking among masonry and ruins, delighting in the terror it creates when it breaks from its suspended pose. The support faction made a deal with these creatures of earth to enhance their form and allow them to walk around even in the day.

Appearance 

These creatures where once grotesque statue like monsters that seemed to be carved straight from stone. Now in their new evolutionary form they range in colors such as, grey, navy blue, green, dark red, black and white. Their shape can take on various forms such as small animal stone like creature, to 8ft tall Goliath built humanoids. The have two wings on their backs that give them the ability to glide from high places, but they are unable to fly due to their stone weight always weighing them down no matter their size. Some may even have tails. All have claw like fingers and toes that make them impressive climbers.

Carved From Stone

Due to their origin, they always give off the impression they are statues if they remain still, this comes with a few stone like traits. Instead of sleeping which they can only do when the sun is up, since they are nocturnal, they go into a chosen stance and harden into a statue-like form. This form restores health and appendages as long as they are not decapitated and are not interrupted during their daily sleeping period or long rest during the day. When in this state their defense increases, but they are unable to attack unless they end their rest. Because of this stone nature they also have the ability to shrug off some damage the take.
