Gargoyles
There is two differnet purposes for gargoyles, formal and mythical. The formal reason is so that when it rains the flow of the rain water will go out of the gargoyle's mouth usually instead of going down the building and causing damage. Some believe they were used to ward off the devil, or remind people that there is evil around. Gargoyles come in all different shapes and sizes, but its said that no two gargoyles are completely alike. Gargoyles are normally two animals combined into one. They can also be animals with a human head though too.
