Gargouille

name = Gargouille image = mm35_pg113.jpg

language = Commun, Terran

Gargouilles are creatures made of living stone. These creatures sit atop spires, completely frozen and appearing like stone until the time to strike. They are capable of flying at great speeds, and most Gargouilles serve as the aerial protectors of the monstrous nation of Droaam.

Histoire

Gargouilles are believed to be creatures native to Eberron. Some sages believe that they might have been the creation of the Daelkyr lord Orlassk, and that Orlassk still travels Khyber inside an enormous living Gargouille fortress; however, Gargouilles are not aberrant beings, so there is some questioning that belief.

In the year 986 AR, towards the end of the Dernière Guerre, three Sorcières known as the Filles De Sora Kell organized the monstrous races of Droaam into a unified nation. Gargouilles migrated to Droaam, bending their stony knees to the three Sorcières.

When Maison Tharashk began recruiting the monstrous races for their services, Gargouilles were among the races to be hired by the Maison Marquée du Dragon.

Species

Pazune-gargouilles are the descendants of Gargouilles touched by the Flamme d'Argent. They are more intelligent than normal Gargouilles, and faithfully serve the Église de la Flamme d'Argent in Thrane.

Homelands

//Gargouilles attacking an Aéronef in Sharn//Many of the Gargouilles of Khorvaire call the monster nation of Droaam home. They prefer the region of Cazhaak Draal, and live amongst the Méduse that rule the Stonelands. However, Gargouilles can be found flying throughout Droaam, and some live within the Le Grand Rocher, or atop the city of Muraille-Grise.

Some Gargouilles also call Les Frontières de l'Ombre home , and some Gargouilles prefer the spires of Sharn, the Cité des Tours. The Pazune-gargouilles call the nation of Thrane home.

Gargouilles are also native to the continent of Xen'Drik.

Notable Names

Apparence

Gargouilles are grotesque creatures seemingly carved directly from stone. They somehow fly using their large, stony wings. Their heads have curved horns and their mouths are filled with sharp teeth and stony fangs. Their colors vary, and the Gargouille usually finds its nest in a building of the same color.

Capacités

Gargouilles are Humanoïdes made of rock. They are highly resistant to damage, and will attack their prey with their stony claws, teeth, and horns. They do not need to eat, sleep, or breathe, and they will often perch atop large buildings waiting for prey. While perched, they are motionless, using an ability called freeze, which makes them almost indistinguishable from a non-living Gargouille. Gargouilles have darkvision, and can fly using their wings.
