Gargoyles

In the Medieval era, gargoyles were used to symbol the demon that comes in the middle of the night and sucks out your soul. It's a reason many cathedrals had them (because not many could read) and certain people created visual sculptures of gargoyles to give a visual to those who could not read.

So, perhaps meeting a gargoyle isn't very good. But I haven't before so I wouldn't know :)

This one actually seemed pretty protective.. But I'll keep that in mind. Thank you:)

medieval gutters!

In the astral plane I have noticed that gargoyles are not always evil demons but violent enforcers. They're sort of like a police.
It depends on what it said to you on what it is. From what I've seen they're like enforcers of all of creation. It's kinda hard to explain but it's basically like if you violate the balance of the universe or "offend creation". Don't think of them like angels because even if you have a nature of good intentions or your very chaotic that's not how it works. To simply put it their laws are not based on morality.

Lindcash is right! They are gutters. Nothing else. They are carved stone,usually.

I haven't ever encountered one but I have heard that they are protector or guardian spirits, with decent power

How an entity looks in the astral plane could mean anything though. The astral plane doesn't have the same rules as the physical so visual appearances aren't always relevant to what it actually is. Visual appearances on the astral plane are just a visual presentation of how it sees it's self.

Some people in real life put gargoyles on buildings to protect them

gargoyles are known to fend off evil and be like a guardian of sorts, they probably would get aggressive should u ever come near them (the place they guarding)

I readthat gargoyles are put on churches/cathedrals to scare away demons. That's all I know about them.
