A green Gargoyle

Gargoyles are powerful living golems that often remain in stationary, statue-like, positions before revealing themselves for combat. Sandy gargoyles are often found in Hammerfell, though green-skinned gargoyles can also be encountered under the control of vampires.

There are four gargoyles at every Anka-Ra Burial Site in Lower Craglorn. After three waves of enemies are defeated, two of the gargoyles awaken and walk slowly towards the Star-Gazer Priest. The gargoyles do not fight back, but they must be burned down to prevent them from reaching the Star-Gazer. If the gargoyles aren't killed in time, they'll unleash a powerful ground pound and kill the priest, failing the event.

Skills and Abilities

Double Swipe

The gargoyle swipes its target twice with its claws, the first hit dealing moderate physical damage and the second hit minor physical damage.

Heavy Strike/Lacerate

The gargoyle winds up its arm before slamming it down on its target, dealing high physical damage and knocking them down. It also applies a "Bleeding" effect that lasts for 16 seconds which deals minor damage over time. This can be blocked to stagger the gargoyle and to both prevent the crowd control and the bleeding.

Quake

The gargoyle slams its fists into the ground three times, causing tremors in a medium-sized AoE that deals moderate physical damage to all standing within range.

Vampiric Touch

The gargoyle stands upright and growls, activating a passive buff which heals it and its nearby allies every time the gargoyle successfully strikes a target. There isn't any visual indication of when the buff starts or end on the gargoyle however.

Petrify

The gargoyle glares at its target, as indicated by a red cone, turning them to stone which stuns them or snares them if they're blocking, for a few seconds. Those affected can break free. This attack can be avoided by roll-dodging. (On some gargoyles only)
