    Fun fact: the word gargoyle refers specifically to a stone creature carving that is designed to drain water away from the sides of a building. If it’s just decorative, it’s called a hunky punk.

    Edit: missed a word

      Thought you might be joshing with this, but turns out you’re the level! Surely this means the Bell Tower Gargoyles in Dark Souls and many other video game bosses need their names correcting (as none of them feature rainwater drains)?
