Gargoyle is a boss in Final Fantasy V. They are the guardians of four locations that house the tablets used to unlock the twelve legendary weapons.
Gargoyle's field sprite also appears in the opening in Castle Tycoon.
Stats[]
Battle[]
There will be two Gargoyles in each of the four battles, and the player must defeat both simultaneously; if only one is killed, it will be revived by the other.
Strategy[]
Level 3 Flare is effective, dealing around 2500 damage, and can defeat both at once. Alternatively, a berserked Gargoyle does not try to revive the other, allowing for it to be dealt with first.

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.
