GROTESQUES


The creators of this show don't know what gargoyles are. It would have taken them two seconds to look at a dictionary. Instead they chose to spread gargoyle misinformation to me and every other child of the 90's. Thanks Disney for making us look like chumps 😞

From Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gargoyle

A gargoyle is a carved or formed grotesque with a spout designed to convey water from a roof and away from the side of a building, thereby preventing rainwater from running down masonry walls and eroding the mortar between.
When not constructed as a waterspout and only serving an ornamental or artistic function, the correct term for such a sculpture is a grotesque, chimera, or boss.
Based on the show's intro https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjI0TdvVbqI. The characters are grotesque sculptures rather than protruding gutters.
