This is a general comment not a question, sorry.
matt writes about bronx not being able to feel pride ...
if he's comparing bronx to a dog, i know for a fact some dogs have a sense of humour, and can get jelous - so why not pride ??
also bronx seems to show considerable intelligence in the series, and to understand, pretty much, what is being said.
( cue "why not pride" question again!)
OK here's one for you, greg - does he?
Greg responds...
Don't see why not.
matt writes...
at the end of "hound of Ulster" Goliath says that Bronx has a right to be proud of himself. now, i like Bronx and i think he is smarter and at times more emotional than your average dog but he is still an animal and i don't quite see how he can feel pride. maybe love, and fear, and loyalty, but pride???
Greg responds...
My dog, and certainly my cats, definitely demonstrate something at times that looks a hell of a lot like pride to me. I could be wrong, but I doubt it.
(matt, this post is such a disappointment.... :)
Todd Jensen writes...
I was just reading your latest "early development documents", and noticed that in one of them, Bronx was depicted as flying about. Did he actually have wings in this stage of the development?
(I also noticed that he was definitely even more omnivorous in those documents than I'd expected - actually eating a fire hydrant and a nunchaku? I hadn't seriously thought that even he would classify them as food).
Greg responds...
He had wing-shaped ears, which he could flap quickly like a humming bird. This resulted in lifting him a few inches off the ground. But he also had a mace-shaped tail, which weighed him down enough to prevent him from flying or even fully hovering.

about how many garg beasts are left in the world in 1996? closer to 10 or 100.
Greg responds...
Closer to 100.
Todd Jensen writes...
One little piece in your "Names" ramble that puzzled me - the description of Bronx (or the character that would become Bronx) as "angst-ridden". I must confess that Bronx never seemed "angst-ridden" to me. (Actually, most of the time, it's rather difficult to say what might be going on in Bronx's head). Or was that description meant to be an ironic one?
Greg responds...
Our original thinking on Bronx was much more comic, much more comic-relief. (Todd, you just gotta come to a Gathering and see the original pitch art and the original design of the character.)
Frank Paur was instrumental in transforming Bronx (first visually, the rest followed) into the beast we know and love.

Hello Greg
You said that Bronx and Boudicca were mates and would mate but you posted that Bronx in 9 at the end of 1996 and since Boudicca is from Angela's rookery you said she would be 20 at the end of 1996.
So my questions are
1) Can Gargoyle Beasts mate at 9 years old?
2) If yes to question 1 why didn't Boudicca already mate?
Greg responds...
1. Yes.
2. Cycles.
Vashkoda writes...
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?
Greg responds...
1. About three.
2a. Don't know yet. Maybe.
2b. Not exactly. Like your best friend's pet.
3a. One for starters.
3b. With the Avalon clan for starters.
3c. Most likely.

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?
---Ytt
Greg responds...
Yes. If we lasted long enough. Dark Ages starts in 971. Bronx hatches in 978. But in my dreams, we'd run the Dark Ages series for 23 years... from 971 to 994.
Vashkoda writes...
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.
Greg responds...
1. That was Brynne's name (or Lydia's) not mine. So it's less desperate to get attention in my head. But anything's possible, and that kind of thing amuses me. So who knows?
2. I never was. It would have made no sense. It was just a place-holder in a script where the beast was seen but not named in dialogue. It gave us another couple weeks to come up with an actual name.
matt writes...
what is the average lifespan of a gargoyle beast?
are multipule births more common among gargoyle beast?
Greg responds...
Hard to say given the lack of grand old gargoyle beasts around. But I'd say about 160-180 years.
No.
