Homebrew Gargoyle (Frontiers of Eberron*) Species Details

Appearance

The majority of gargoyles resemble Dhakaani guardian statues: 5 to 7-foot-tall humanoids inspired by goblins or demons, with horns and bat-like wings, composed of inanimate stone. However, they can exhibit a variety of features and forms, such as different types or lengths of claws and horns (or none at all). They may be wingless, or have chiropteran or angelic wings that are proportionate to their bodies, or comically small or large. Some can even take the form of famous cultural or mythical heroes.
