Gargoyle


 * This article is about the wave monster. For the statue monster on secret rooms, see: Ancient Gargoyle.
 *  Not to be confused with the decorative statues: gargoyle frontal and lateral.

Gargoyle is a dangerous flying hostile creature found only during monster waves in all worlds. They spawn in flocks and attack the fortress and dwarfs from above.

Fossilized Gargoyle
When the sun rises, all gargoyles will turn to fossilized gargoyles, falling to the ground as little stone statues and being collected by dwarfs or imps to the stockpile.

Ghost interaction
If a ghost reaches the stockpile, it will prioritize throwing a stone gargoyle over everything else. If it is thrown out of the stockpile during the night, it will turn back into a normal gargoyle and begin attacking dwarfs again.

The player may handle this nuisance by:
 * Disassambling fossilized gargoyles to get some of the resources listed below; or
 * Letting them come back to life for, maybe, get some coins, with 10% chance for each gargoyle. To do this, it's recomended to have static defenses like frogolisks and owlcats around the stockpile to avoid needing any special attention every time a gargoyle comes out.

Disassembling
Fossilized gargoyles are not craftable, but the player may get some of these resources below when disassembling it.
