The Gargoyles are a "subrace"/tribe of the Sarkaz.

Overview

Mudrock, the only known Gargoyle

One of the most ancient Sarkaz subraces, the Gargoyles presumably have some traits of the eponymous stone monster in Earth. Described as "children of soil and stone", Gargoyles are proficient in earth/geokinetic Arts and claim to be able to "talk" with the soil. They also have a tradition of giving out soil to friends, and a stone statue for close partners and relatives.[1][2]

Today the Gargoyles are considered a rare sight, with many of them dispersed across Terra. At some point, the Gargoyles used to be part of the Royal Court,[3] and even though their remnants are scattered, the Royal Court is looking forward to inviting them to Londinium.[4]

Notable

  • Mandragora's mentor: An unnamed Gargoyle who taught Mandragora geokinetic Arts while she was living in a graveyard. Mandragora's Tombkeeper Grotesques are modeled after the Gargoyles, likely made in her mentor's honor.[5]

Trivia

  • The Gargoyles are named Anzulithic (Katakana: アンズーリシック) in Japanese, which is a portmanteau of Anzû, a griffin-like mythological creature in Mesopotamian legends, and lithic, meaning "stone/rock," befitting the appearance of actual Gargoyles.
