Homebrew Gargoyle (Yokai) Species Details

Gargoyles (or Yokai) are grotesque constructs carved from stone. Originally, all Oni are sent to Heimen as their eternal resting place, but these Oni are those who are punished. They strayed away from the ways of their people and went against their God's. Balthazar deemed that those in these specific situations did not deserve forgiveness nor rest. Their souls have been trapped into these stone constructs that are forced to be a watcher for a millennium. Balthazar felt that during this time it would force the souls to understand his position as well as endure a life without him or his pantheon. The question is, will these souls learn, or will they be forced to watch for eternity.
