Editing Gargoyle (section)

=Disney's Gargoyles=

So, in the early-to-mid 90s, Disney's TV animation division was white hot. So were superhero-action cartoons. Disney hired a comic book writer, Greg Weisman (the guy who would later later make the animated ''Young Justice'' for DC/WB), to develop a new superhero action series for them. ''Gargoyles'' was the result, a 2 season, 65 episode cartoon that was met with wide approval. There was a third season, a 13 episode sequel series the next year, ''Gargoyles, The Goliath Chronicles'', that wasn't met with such approval.

Regardless, Disney's version is worth mentioning here, because they're still well loved. The rules of these Gargoyles are fairly simple:

# They look like winged monsters, with a wide variety of colors (blue, red, yellow, brown, etc.) when not stone.
# They tend to be stronger and tougher than humans.
# Their claws are tough enough, and they themselves are strong enough, to allow them to climb buildings, leaving claw marks embedded in the concrete along the way.
# They turn to stone during the day, and have limited healing during this stone sleep.
# Most of them can glide (not fly, but glide) on those wings.
# They lay eggs, and practice communal child-rearing as a partial result.
# They have a tendency to attach themselves to a location, appointing themselves guardians of the region.
# They also have a tendency to leave themselves unnamed, although allowing others to give them names, particularly of their leaders.

As the series begins, an all male pack of Gargoyles from just-barely-post William the Conqueror Scotland finds themselves in modern Manhattan, thinking themselves the last Gargoyles on Earth. Things develop from there, but that's not the subject of this article, the rules something based on (or ripping off) the show are.
