1.Before humans made contact with gargoyles, did gargoyles have a unique (non-written)language unto themselves?
2.Before gargoyles made contact with humans, did gargoyles have a unique written language unto themselves?
Greg responds...
1. We've discussed this before... it might not have been necessary for them... isn't language a process of naming?
2. No.

What do gargoyles eat?And would they kill or hurt humans?
Greg responds...
Gargoyles eat more or less the same stuff as we do. And kill for more or less the same reasons.
Purplegoldfish writes...
Do gargoyles generally hold mating ceremonies, or do they more or less elope? In "Vows," Goliath and Demona facilitated their own union-would there have been a more official ceremony later attended by the clan?
Greg responds...
I'm not responding to this at this time.

Hi Greg. It's great to see Gargoyles back. Anyway, I have a question about when the Wyvern Clan split between 988 and 994. What I would like to know is why didn't the departing Gargoyles take any of the eggs with them? The new clan would have missed out on an entire generation of the clan. Or did they do something like take more of Bronx's generation(978) with them? I guess that would make sense. Thanks.
Greg responds...
The why had to do with the difficulty of establishing a new rookery. Otherwise, I think you answered your own question.

This is less serious than my last post.
It had occured to me the other day while watching the Green that the Guatamalan clan and all the other clans take names. Some of them such as the Griff's clan have had contact for some time with humans, but what's Zafiro excuse. Is it only a Wyvern Clan tradition, not a gargoyle tradition across cultures, to remain nameless?
Greg responds...
Only the four pendant wearers had names. Unfortunately, only the four pendant wearers were still alive.

Is there any significance to loincloth color for the gargs? Goliath and Hudson, both leaders, have brown, whereas the Trio has blue.
Greg responds...
None that I know of.
Danny Dyche writes...
Have you thought of how you would handle traditional gargoyle namelessness should you make "Dark Ages"?
Greg responds...
I've thought about it a LOT. Probably won't make a final decision until I'm forced to. (The same was true about what to do about the Goliath Chronicles.)

How often do gargoyle clan leaders name their mates their seconds? Wouldn't it make more sense to have a younger second, not a contemporary?
Greg responds...
It often depends on just how young the leader is, I would think.
Do you really think Brooklyn was ready to be a second back in 994?
But as you've seen, Goliath was Hudson's second. Yama was Kai's. So a younger second is sometimes chosen.

You've said that gargoyles predate humans. Were there ever any gargoyle cities, civilizations, or unique cultures?
Greg responds...
Cultures... sure. But I'm not seeing them defining civilization by human standards. And cities... depends how big a rookery has to get before you qualify it as a city. Competition for resources kept rookeries smallish. With new rookeries spinning off of existing ones when necessary.
Makhasu writes...
How do gargoyles view their beaked brethren like Brooklyn in terms of physical beauty?
Greg responds...
I don't believe in monolithic appraisals. But I'm sure MOST would find Brooklyn as attractive as many of our fans do.
