| Description | Lead gargoyles appear to be beasts made of lead, usually with huge wings. They have metallic scales and long tails and almost reptilian faces. They are grotesque. They have fangs and claws and barbed tails. |
| Procreation | New lead gargoyles must be cast from molten lead. |
| Esoterica | The original lead gargoyles were made to protect the Mightiest's temples and as such were created with incredible damaskian power. They are attuned to the various damaskian arts. They also have affinity for gebvel, shebv heya, mashoaab, fate, doom, arnum, hegnh, white tiger or earthpower aether, rubedian aether, fundamental aether, ordinal muscle energy, kor, and spiritual energy. |
| Special Powers | Lead gargoyles bind to a location, usually a place difficult to protect, to test their own might. From there, they build their territory and protect it fiercely. This binding allows them to sense danger within the territory and to have extra strength in protecting it. They gain strength for every victory over attackers on their domain and lose it for every defeat. They feel harmed when their domain is harmed, and their domain cannot be destroyed so long as they live. Lead gargoyles can fly. They also have keen senses of smell. |
| Stasis | Lead gargoyles go into stasis to prolong their lifespans. Time in stasis does not count toward the above listed lifespan. They only do this if they are at the height of their strength and their domain is truly safe. They cannot be awakened unless by extreme danger or pre-arranged trigger. |
| Weaknesses | Pravum and vile energy can weaken them. |
| Culture | The original lead gargoyles won their freedom from service to the temples by their mighty deeds. As such, they honor mighty deeds of all kinds. They also honor their past by binding to hard to protect locations, and in doing this, they have immigrated to the deepest lava domains beneath the ground. They love a good challenge and will fight almost anyone who challenges them. They find it beneath them, however, to prey on those who leave them alone or do not seek to fight them or harm their domain. Lead gargoyles live solitary existences mostly, meeting every few years to have festivals and contests. This is where they form families, if desired, and fight for territory, treasures, or bragging rights. |
