There are other gargoyle clans as well in Scotland, Korea and China. Ishigura Clan taught the ancient samurai warriors Bushido. On the other side of the world, Ishigura Clan lives in an old Japanese Shinto temple. In Europe, London Clan consists out of gargoyles similar to traditional heraldic creatures like the unicorns, griffins and hippogriffs. Living in the ruins of an old pyramid deep in the rain forests of Guatemala, Mayan Clan fights to protect the jungle and several dozen gargoyle eggs hidden in the rookery inside the pyramid. It turns out not only are there many clans of gargoyles, but they all look completely different!įor example, there's the Mayan Clan with its distinctly reptilian appearance and feathered wings that have inspired the mythological deities of the ancient Mayans. In the second season’s story arc (nicknamed by the fans "The Gargoyles' World Tour"), main characters travel around the globe, fighting various dangers while searching for their cousins. When Goliath awakes in modern times and falls in love with Elisa Maza, Demona becomes furiously jealous. For the same reason, Goliath's former lover Demona helps the Captain betray the castle. Captain of the Guard (voiced by Ed Gilbert) who betrays Wyvern Castle to the Vikings does so because he hates the way humans of the castle treated the gargoyles. Other villains have similarly understandable motivations as well. It is only after Goliath helps save his newborn son Alexander from the mystical island of Avalon that David Xanatos decides to change his ways.
When they refuse to co-operate, Xanatos tries (and fails) to create gargoyles of his own. As CEO of Xanatos Enterprises, David Xanatos, with the help of Demona, wants to awaken the gargoyles and use them for his nefarious dealings. Many of the show's villains have perfectly understandable (if not excusable) reasons for their evil deeds.Ĭase in point is the show's "Big Bad" David Xanatos (voiced by Jonathan Frakes). And yet, for all the black-hooded thugs on Gargoyles, the show offers a surprisingly nuanced portrayal of its numerous villains, allowing them to grow, change and sometimes even become the good guys.
