Granite Gargoyle
All gargoyles are created by the footfalls of Ogremoch, but not all are created equal. Named for its composition, the granite gargoyle looks as if it was carved straight from granite rock by a master sculptor. Like some terrible mix of a hellscape feline and an enormous bat, these gargoyles are more animalistic, more prone to ignoring long term plans in favor of instinctual desire. But they are consumed with every bit the same evil as their brethren.
Primal Flames The granite necessary to create these creatures is only found where the Plane of Fire begins to bleed into the Plane of Earth, and on the rare occasions Ogremoch walks through the area, the granite forms into a beast full of rage. The granite gargoyle keeps a small part of the Plane of Fire’s flame burning within, and in moments of desperation, the gargoyle can summon this flame to create a wall of fire between it and the world. This fire burns bright and hot, preventing creatures from getting too close, and making it difficult to swing a weapon at the creature.
