The Gargoyle is an aerial stone enemy from Final Fantasy IX. It cannot attack until Agares uses the Rise ability on it. If the Agares is defeated before it gets the chance to use Rise on the Gargoyle, the Gargoyle is defeated along with it. The Gargoyle can be immediately defeated at the start of the battle by using a Soft on it, however, experience is not gained by this method. The Gargoyle is susceptible to Quina's LV4 Holy.

Etymology[]
Gargoyles were initially ordinary stone statues built on rooftops to let rainwater above flow down to the ground through certain paths. The statues were usually carved as monsters and strange creatures, which later spawned the belief that gargoyles are the guardians of the buildings they live in.
