Most have prehensile tails possibly to provide aerodynamic balance as they glide airborne, many have six limbs (not including their tail) with four digits per limb: usually two arms (each with three fingers and an opposable thumb), two legs (each with three forward toes and a back claw) that have curving spurs extending from where the knees and elbows are. Some have relatively round, humanoid faces some have more animalistic snouts, whilst there are those bearing features that are near-human. Most gargoyles have crests on their foreheads in addition to horns, but some gargoyles lack one, the other, or sometimes even both.
For example, some have hair and some don't. Gargoyles exhibit tremendous visual variety, which presumably helps in them identifying each other since they, particularly in days of yore, generally do not take names for that. Their enhanced strength and agility combined with these natural appendages allows them to make short work of their enemies. In combat, gargoyles are known to use their fists, feet, claws, teeth, and even their wings and tails. Despite being bipeds, gargoyles are strong enough to gallop on all fours like a wolf. In fact, apart from their inherent strength and beastly features, the cover of the night is generally a gargoyle's strongest weapon against their adversaries. Being nocturnal, gargoyles are very adept at concealing themselves within shadows, perfectly camouflaging themselves in the dark for ambushes, or simply to get around stealthily. They are related to gargoyle beasts, much as humans are related to apes. And though greatly varying in physical prowess, even gargoyles with frail or lanky build as Brooklyn, or as diminutive as Lexington, have both shown being able to lift full-grown humans over their heads with ease, and are also very agile, since gargoyles as large and physically imposing as Goliath and Broadway or as elderly as Hudson were seen capable of side-stepping, with surprising agility, away from strikes that are too fast for the human eye to follow. Gargoyles are bipedal gargates, and are generally more physically powerful than humans.
