Gargoyle hatchlings love having fun on rooftops, skipping stones, and playing together. They consider rocks of all shapes and sizes to be their friends, and more often than not, the hatchlings will each adopt a rock they will carry with them at all times. While this might be seen as a silly game, the hatchlings learn many lessons by caring for their adopted rocks. The pied gargoyles act like the rocks are their children - they bring the rocks food, take them along on trips wherever they go, and hide them when bad weather comes. If it happens for a hatchling to misplace their beloved pet rock, they will form search parties and spend as long as it takes to find it. As time passes and the pied gargoyles grow, they become excellent parents, creating nearly perfect families.
The existence of the gargoyles has been a myth for centuries. Faded drawings on old ruins have been dated decades before the mage wars. In fact, the gargoyle is thought to be one of the oldest magical creatures in the world. The pied gargoyle is a descendant of the mythical creature, smaller in size and not as frightening as the one described in legends. This gargoyle has an easygoing personality, and despite its looks and bulkiness, it is a kind creature with a soft heart. Its magic is limited to itself, turning into stone whenever it sleeps. It cannot use this power over other beings, which can be inconvenient in many cases. Even so, the pied gargoyle is loyal, many relying on it to guard their homesteads. It prefers to spend its time outside, uncaring about the weather. Heavy storms or harsh winters do nothing to this creature, nor do extreme heat or hail. The pied gargoyle can sleep for as long as the bad weather lasts, the creature's stone form withstanding everything.
