Actually I envisioned gargoyles as a species of monsters hailing from another material plane. That is the place from whence they were summoned, and some escaped to dwell on the PMP, inspired the sculptured stone likenesses of them. Their plane is one to which various other grotesques are native. These include winged humanoids and non-flying species of gargoyle.
Never guess that there was a corner restaurant named The Gargoyle, Royal Steak House, Paul Junker, about two blocks from where I grew up here in Lake Geneva. Not only was its slantwise sign on fieldstone pollers above the pool in which the gargoyle fountain spat its watery stream, but in the gardens to the rear there was a goldfish pond with an arched bridge spanning it and three miniature castles of great complexity constructed with stone blocks of around 00 scale. The rathskeller was just great, and the early GenCon banquets were held downstairs in it.
Cheers,
Gary
