Lore

Often mistaken for demons, Gargoyles are a proud, mystical race with ancient traditions. They are hairless; their horns vary in shape and size and are typically left unadorned. Gargoyles have appeared since Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar, holding beliefs distinct from the Eight Virtues and famed for artisanry and secret methods of crafting powerful items.
