1) Ed previously asked how old Cagney was, and you asked "when?". So how old was he at the end of "The Journey"?

2a) Sadly, cats have nowhere near the lifespan of gargoyle beasts, and eventually, Cagney will pass away. Do you think Elisa would get another pet to replace him? b) Bronx is sort of the gargoyles' pet, but does Elisa consider him a little like her pet as well?

3a) How many offspring will Bronx and Boudicca have? b) Do all the pups stay with their mother on Avalon, or will any join their father in Manhattan? c) Will the other female beast that you said lived on Avalon also have a pup at the same time as Boudicca?

You've mentioned that Bronx wouldn't be hatched when DARK AGES began. Would he have been hatched later down the line in the series?

1) Given your habit of recycling names back into the show, I was wondering if you had plans of reusing the name "Tribeca" that you had originally assigned to Bouddica?

2) Who came up with the name and how? I just found out that Tribecca is a place in NY. It makes me wonder why you were going to give that name to a beast from Avalon, though.

what is the average lifespan of a gargoyle beast?
are multipule births more common among gargoyle beast?

How old is Cagney? :)

Clan Census writes...

About what percentage of the gargoyle population (at Wyvern 994, if not worldwide) is comprised of beasts, like Bronx and Boudicca?

Hi again, Greg!

Do gargoyle beasts mate for life like sentient gargoyles do? You've said that Bronx and Boudicca have mated and will mate again. Does this preclude them from mating with other beasts they may meet? (Poor Bronx, stuck in a long distance relationship.)

Thanks for your time.

Rewriting an older questions...About cat-goyles. Bad phrasing and all. What I meant was, Bronx is a gargoyles beast with dog-like attibutes. He barks, growls, pants, etc. I was wondering if there were any cat-like gargoyle beasts? Gargoyle beasts that purred, hissed, cleaned themselves, etc.

Dear Greg,

Some questions on Garg Beasts:

1) You've pretty well established that most Gargoyle Clans have Garg Beasts in the community. But are there any wild or feral (i.e. returned to the wild when their Clans died out) Garg Beasts? Presumably it would be challenging for a pair in tbe wild to protect themselves and their eggs, but since the eggs go to stone in the daytime, too, nothing much but humans could destroy them, so some might have survived in remote regions.

2) Do you know how far back Gargoyles domesticated Garg Beasts? Around the same time as humans began domesticating dogs, or earlier?

Thanks for a wonderful show, and hope to make the LA Gathering next year.

Hi Greg,

To refresh your memory, you answered the following question posted by Slylar on 7/26/00.
Question:
More a comment than a question: When once one person asked, if there are any cat-like or just dog-like gargoylebeasts, I think he meant more the looking than the behavior *g*
Answer:
Does Bronx really look like any dog you know or does his behavior make him seem more dog-like?

I would like to add my comments about Bronx. To me, his appearance and mannerisms are very much like that of a English bulldog; except that most modern bulldogs are generally unaggressive. Most of his gentle moments are matched by the actions of my own bulldogs.
The primary comparison, which I think is why most people think of him as a gardog or doggoyle etc., is in how he looks. Bronx has the extended lower jaw, the very heavy chest with slender hindquarters, and the stubby tail that one normally associates with an English bulldog. I was surprised when in "The Mirror" Puck changed him into an Irish Wolfhound. As you said in one of your rambles, "a bulldog might have been more reminiscent", though less of a threat; the bulldogs I've known would have just knocked Puck over and covered him with slobber.
I liked the animation sequence was at the end of Leader of the Pack where Bronx was howling as the water got closer to him. That was extremely cute. I also thought it particularly significant that it was Goliath that came back for him. Of course, as leader, he should have, since Bronx is part of the clan; but it also shows that Goliath has that special affection for Bronx that we humans have for our own pets.
