When standard gargoyles are created, they're animated from intimidating, carved stone figures and serve as immensely armoured and resilient, if structurally fragile, guardians for their positions. Rarely, gargoyles are prepared for their animation, smithed from impressively lightweight metal into solid winged statues with nasty speed, strength, and weaponized breath. These gargoyles ruthlessly crush intruders. “Their innumerable sculptures of demons and dragons assumed a lugubrious aspect. The restless light of the flame made them move to the eye. There were griffins which had the air of laughing, gargoyles which one fancied one heard yelping, salamanders which puffed at the fire, tarasques which sneezed in the smoke. And among the monsters thus roused from their sleep of stone by this flame, by this noise, there was one who walked about, and who was seen, from time to time, to pass across the glowing face of the pile, like a bat in front of a candle.” -Victor Hugo, _The Hunchback of Notre-Dame_, 10, ch. IV. 1831. trans. Isabel F. Hapgood
