Gargoyle

Once mounted on the walls of churches and castles to scare off evil spirits and used for protection against evil, these statues and water spouts were silent sentinels against the darkness. But Evil is patient, willing to wait until its corruptive poison has eroded its way deep into the smallest cracks and spread unhindered until it is fully in control. Possessed by dark forces, stone starts to crumble and move like flesh, soulless eyes open up and glow brightly in the dark, heavy hooves make their first diligent steps as the grotesquely carved stone statue comes to life. These animate, malevolent stone statues with their unfeeling hearts of stone have now turned upon the people they used to protect for so many years, and in their unholy minds, only one stone-cold thought remains: the merciless slaughtering of all living and breathing things.

Behavior
Gargoyle are animate, malevolent stone statues that can be found commonly in the Ruins from Veteran level onward, and as a rare encounter elsewhere. Gargoyles have an impressive PROT stat and are nearly impervious to bleed. This is counter-balanced by low HP and a weakness to blight, making them prime targets for the Plague Doctor, Shieldbreaker and Grave Robber. Furthermore, they are weak to stun, which makes it easy to cumulate stun attacks with blight damage.
