infrequent reminder
a gargoyle is really only a gargoyle if it has a spout designed to convey water run off away from the building (like a gutter and for the exact same reasons we use gutters today).
a grotesque is a decorative statue used as architectural accents frequently used in gothic designs. This can be on the wall, roof, etc.
additional:
apparently they make modern ones and I want them so bad now!
@PetterOfCats Oh cool! I want one now too! Although it might look weird hanging off my plain 1950's suburban home instead of a castle....
@KydiaMusic yeah, same. Lol
