One thousand years ago, superstition and the sword ruled. It was a time of darkness. It was a world of fear. It was the age of gargoyles. Stone by day, warriors by night, We were betrayed by the humans we had sworn to protect, frozen in stone by a magic spell for a thousand years. Now, here in Manhattan, the spell is broken, and we live again! We are defenders of the night! We are Gargoyles!

It'd be interesting if Vader was a gargoyle (as in, water flowing through and out his mouth), and perhaps a difficult design quandary: since his mouthpiece is shaped like grating, how do you carve so many narrow slits out of stone? Heck, I don't even know how they hollow out *regular* gargoyles.

Hands begin to pop out of the graves, coming out are a horde of undead guys. Meanwhile in a church from Pennsylvania, its creature-like water spouts begin to crumble. Fangs are exposed like your typical vampires, the monster wakes with a sound of rumble. In a land of supernatural creatures called Yokai, one of these monsters comes out its cave. A beauty on the outside but a horror on the inside, it’s got young samurai flesh to crave. Up in the mountains of the Himalayas, a familiar face wanders around. It’s like Bigfoot but covered in snow, and extremely hard to be found. What are these monsters doing here you’d ask? Well to put it simply, it’s the month of Halloween! And they’re all here to celebrate a time so spooky and fun, now you understand what I mean! Now join us as we explain all these monsters, from unknowns of the sea to nasty fox tricksters. And if you’re too scared to come along, Emily Zarka will say to you this line: “Don’t worry, they’re just..........monsters.“

Terry Pratchett's Discworld features what has to by my favourite (and possibly best thought out) depiction of gargoyles; as a sub-species of troll that's adapted to an urban environment, colonising the rooftops of crumbling stone edifices, subsisting on mineral rich rainwater strained through their ears and out their mouths, along with any inattentive pigeons, and deriving mild entertainment from the hustle and bustle of the city below.

Gargoyle : France night spires universities and cathedrals perches stone demon wing narrowly escapes attack

"One-thousand years ago, superstition and the sword ruled. It was a time of darkness. It was a world of fear. It was the age...of GARGOYLES! Stone by day, warriors by night. We were betrayed by the humans we had sworn to protect. Frozen in stone by a magic spell for a thousand years...now here in Manhattan, the spell is broken, and we LIVE AGAIN! We are defenders of the night! We are *GARGOYLES!"*

Gargoyles was definitely my favorite cartoon when I was a kid. I remember watching it everyday after school.

As a person who grew up with the 1990's Gargoyles TV Show, it's fun to see how previous iterations influenced the lore of the show. Examples: Reynard being the main character of the novel --> In the show Halcyon Reynard being one of the characters that faces off against, and later becomes an ally with, the Gargoyles. And with Reynard meaning "Fox", his daughter going by the name of Fox. Additionally, it seems that the show from the 1970's influenced the fact that Gargoyles traditionally live in caves and that their children hatch from eggs.

*Gargoyles have always defended me. Stand guard atop my roof or in trees over looking me and ready to strike. They are my friends. They protect the Pious ...*

Two more depictions of gargoyles that werent in the video: There is a town hall in Northern Germany somewhere that has figures of officials of a rival town (i think) in less then charming positions :D The Gargoyles on Terry Pratchetts Discworld cant close their mouths, and thus cant make any sounds that require them to do so. Makes for a very interesting language (espacially if you try to read it as a non native speaker :D)

Thus descends down the from the rooftop, a creature carved from stone. Thought to be but a statue, but given life by some dark elemental magics. The creature stares onwards with glaring red eyes that only shine when it views its prey. Itself an ironic existence, a being of stone that flies cannot be logical, yet it not only exists, it also terrifies. Swiftly into the night sky, the prey is whisked away. The person is unable to let out an audible cry as the Gargoyle flies off into the night amongst the cityscape, the rain masking its departure. The next morning a chimney sweep will find the discarded remains amongst the smokestacks of the cathedral and think none the wiser as the monstrosity stalks again the next evening.

Isn't there disagreement on their origins? In one of the early Vimes/Watch books they're discribed as a subspecies of troll/urban trolls, which have evolved to survive on the nutrients strained out of the rain water that runs through them (like whales/basking sharks, I always think) with a side helping of pigeon whenever they get the chance. I don't recall the magic stuff being a confirmed alternative. But I always welcome any excuse to revisit the Disc! 😁

surely there must have been some link before Dr. Who's "the daemons" since they recognized the idea of the gargoyle coming to life. Since it was recognized as part of the trappings of the very occult oriented adventure. It would seem like maybe something from Hammer films.

In the case of a gray area like that I think it's acceptable for the tour's script to pick a side on the debate. The most basic provable fact is that gargoyles are fancy rainspouts and there probably was no single explanation for their form at the time. Someone made them scary one day and everyone else followed with varying reasons.

I love listening to your episodes. So much enthusiasm. Even the outtakes

When I was little and saw pictures of gargoyles in books and magazines I thought they were demons, and it scared me that they were just casually hanging out on churches and everyone was okay with it. In my head it seemed like the Church was in league with the Devil, and I was too afraid to ask about it cos I was worried about the answer. 0.o
