Gargoyle are the most annoying creatures in the game. Not only because of their looks. Fast speed and flying ability enables them to get first to enemy shooters. Unusually high defence for level 2 and reasonable hit poins make them hard to eliminate. Their attack is not great however. Best use is for standing next to enemy shooters to prevent their shooting ability. Gargoyles should also be given as the only units to scouts to give them plenty of movement points. Griffins, at 100 gold extra, are a much better deal with higher attack, more hit points and unlimited retaliation. Garboyle is the only fast Warlock unit, so it is useful to have in order to be able to cast spells sooner in combat.
