Gargoyles are only statues that have never breathed or moved on their own. Therefore, yes, they are real. No, they are not and probably never were, living creatures.
to hide their ugly face
it means ugly and smelly and hideous .. it comes from the roman gypsies who never settled in ireland
Where are gargoyles located? Gargoyles can be found all around the world. Originally started around the thirteenth and fourteenth century, the art device spread across Europe and now the whole world uses them as a convenient art source, building requirements, architecture, and much more. You can find gargoyles pretty much anywhere you look for them. Some of the more famous ones can be found in the Notre Dame Cathedral in Europe, but one does not need to travel all the way to the eastern hemisphere to see this magnificent site. Other places you may look can be the Chrystar Building in New York City, or the National Cathedral in Washington D.C. This area is known to have the scariest human gargoyles ever created: the lawyer. Where else can you uncover gargoyles? Today, they are located everywhere: in bookends, candle holders, incense burners, souvenir statues, and key chains.
lol It's Hephaestus
gargoyles were invented by gargoyles who were invented by gargoyles and so on. This was written by gargoyle.
Gargoyles are carved stone statues with ugly faces.
Gargoyles are statues that are placed on buildings like medieval castles, they have open mouth's purely as when the rain starts and you are standing under one you wont get wet as the water is collected in the mouth but if there was an intruder you would tip the gargoyle over so the rain would fall on them, sometimes gargoyles are confused with grotesques which are statues to scare evil spirits away as they are so ugly.
In some cultures, yes, they are. In others they are just pretty (or ugly) decorations.
because peter castledine said they do
"Gargoyles are statues. Grotesque is a word meaning very ugly." NOTE: This answer is incomplete and seems to have been answered by someone who didn't realize that the two items in question actually have a historical similarity. Grotesque does of course mean ugly but it is ALSO the name for those varieties of stone statues that are found on buildings such as old cathedrals - and which usually take the shape of an ugly mythical creature, such as a griffin. Grotesques are commonly confused with Gargoyles but they are in reality very different. One serves a function and one is purely decorative. A gargoyle by definition differs from a grotesque because gargoyles are actually rain spouts. The mouth acts as a spout for a gutter system that passes water flowing from the roof top, into a trough, and lastly, out of the mouth of the statue. A gargoyle can be in the shape of any creature, ugly or not. The ugly ones are the most common but some gargoyles are in the likeness of angels. Most statues that are commonly thought to be gargoyles are actually grotesques because they do not serve as gutter spouts and are merely decorative.
The gargoyles have their mouth open so they can insult you. look for all of them and shoot them down do get something. you will find that 'something' in the Gargoyles Cove that is under the Bowerstone Market bridge. Oh and you get a 'something' for every ten gargoyles you destroy.
No they are not they are simply mythical canstructions that do not come under the gothic dictionarey.
you should say: your so ugly you have to sneak up on your mirror. or: your so ugly your parents nicknamed you shiz happens. or: i know why you look like a horse, because i saw your mom grazing in the field.
