Its name is based on the gargoyle architectural element, whose name is often incorrectly conflated with that of monstrous grotesques as a whole.

The creepy hollows site i always take with a heaping grain of salt because the idea of spirit keeping is just…iffy to me. Lol. I have those that i know in the spirit realm but i dont adopt them like pets.
