The face shape is the clue. My first thought was a winged baboon. And it's only a gargoyle if it ejects water from a hole somewhere, otherwise it's called a grotesque. You possibly already know this.

Oct 21, 2022 12:17 | #455 OhLook wrote in post #19438393 I didn't know that. I'll try to remember: a gargoyle gargles. Quite rightly. They're from the same root. As Wikipedia puts it: The term originates from the French gargouille, which in English is likely to mean "throat" or is otherwise known as the "gullet"; cf. Latin gurgulio, gula, gargula ("gullet" or "throat") and similar words derived from the root gar, "to swallow", which represented the gurgling sound of water (e.g., Portuguese and Spanish garganta, "throat"; gárgola, "gargoyle"). It is also connected to the French verb gargariser, which shares a Latin root with the verb "gargle" and is likely imitative in origin. Garry Knight
