MANDATORY CHANGES ● Hunger and hunting instinct. Gargoyles usually hunt by either directly attacking their prey or lifting them off the ground and dropping them from great heights. Hunting animals will satiate them for a short time, but the longer they go without hunting a human, the more they'll be compelled to do so until they start losing their self-control.
MANDATORY CHANGE ● Large, scaly wings capable of flight.
● Scaly, talon-like feet capable of grasping.
● Weakness to sunlight. Direct exposure will turn the Gargoyle into stone (or jade, or gold, or crystal - anything statues can be made of is fair game) until the sunlight no longer touches them, either because night has fallen or because they've been covered up. They are almost indestructible in statue form, but should try to avoid being in flight when the sun rises.
● An affinity for fire magic. Despite their weakness to sunlight, Gargoyles can create fireballs in their hands to hurl at their enemies, and can make their own skin so hot it burns to touch. Because of this magic, they are also immune to fire.
● Excellent night vision and sharper eyesight. Gargoyles can make out small details, even from up in the air.
● Lizard-like claws in place of fingernails and toenails.
● Sharp fangs instead of teeth.
● Scales on the upper arms, shoulders, and back.
Optional Changes ● Any number of dragon-like facial features, from yellow eyes to a forked tongue to something fully dragon-like.
● A long, reptilian tail.
● The ability to breathe fire.
● The ability to influence the actions of humans by giving them commands while making eye contact.
● A proud nature. Gargoyles are both easily insulted and easily flattered.
● A hoarding instinct. Gargoyles can be very greedy and like to hold on to anything nice they've found, especially if it's shiny.
● Two horns on the head that vary in size and shape.
● Scales on any other part of the body.
● A fog form. This is an exaggerated version of their monster form that appears only during the fog and is a chance to make your monster more "horrifying" during the fog.
