Since the naming custom was taken up, are gargoyles given names, or do they choose their own?

Greg responds...

case by case

This question (or one similar to it) was also asked in that adult Gargoyles chat of a couple months ago but I notice it was overlooked...

Do you feel that clothes is yet another custom (like names) that the Gargoyles species adopted from humans? (and probably for the sake of humans) With both their tougher skins and their better resistance against temperature extremes, gargoyles would seem to have less actual need for clothes. And the tidbit you've given us about Caesar Augustus seems to imply that it's again the humans who have a greater sense of "decency" related to clothes and nudity.

So... did gargoyles wear clothing before they started interacting with humanity?

If no, at what period of time do you feel the Wyvern clan started wearing clothes? 971? Decades before 971? Centuries before? Prehistorical times? etc...

Greg responds...

They might have. For example, modesty aside, I'm generally more comfortable wearing underwear (briefs) unless I'm asleep. I know my wife prefers to wear a bra if she's doing anything active.

If the above seems cryptic, I'm trying to be discreet, but it's an issue of, shall we say, "swingage".

Having said that, I'm sure modesty and humanity played a roll. Codified things, etc.

I certainly think humans have more uptight rules about this kind of stuff than gargs generally do.

i was a bit surprised that every clan that goliath and co met had started using names. have these clans abandoned other garg customs to such as the rookery children thing?

Greg responds...

No. Names are addictive, however.

Can Gargoyles be vegetarians? In the Dark Ages did the Gargs hunt their own food or depend on humans to supply it?

Greg responds...

Mostly hunted their own.

As for vegetarianism, anything's possible.

At what age do you feel that gargoyles learn to glide?

Will Tachi (aged six) know how to glide when she timedances into the present, or will it be something she'll learn during the course of the series?

Greg responds...

She'll have started learning. I don't know that she'd have mastered it under all conditions. But she'd be doing a bit of it.

in "turf" elisa tells angela that the boys haven't been around an attractive female garg in a thousand years. how does elisa know that angela is attractive by gargoyle standards? is demona also considered an attractive garg? is opheila?

Greg responds...

How do I know? How do you?

But yes, I'd say everyone you named is attractive by garg standards.

Do the gargoyles have any kind of religion in their own culture?

If so, can you tell anything about their religion without giving anything about future plans away?

Greg responds...

Check the Gargoyle Customs Archive here at ASK GREG. And if you've got further questions after reading that, come back and ask.

Would any Gargoyles and New Olympians take up human vices in the future like smoking and drinking?

It's possible.

Have gargoyles ever converted to human religions in the past?

Greg responds...

Maybe, once or twice.

Siren writes...

I had asked whether gargoyles voted before...To be more specific.
Say a gargoyle leader chooses a second-in-command, the leader dies and the new leader is corrupt and so on. And the clan despises him. Could they knock him down a few blocks so to say? Could they be like a pride of lions where as someone comes forward to fight for leadership? Or would it be more like impeachment or banishment when the whole clan votes to kick him/her out and/or vote for a new leader?

Greg responds...

I suppose they'd boot him if it was necessary. But this doesn't sound likely.
