Monstrum

How Gargoyles Became Monsters

Season 2 Episode 12 | 11m 7s

Do you know where they originated from?

Before these stoney grotesques became monsters they were just water spouts. We still adorn our buildings with the carvings and sculptures of the frightening, funny, and exaggerated forms—but why? Learn all about the strange history of the gargoyle monster and how the power of imagination turned some odd looking architecture into a legendary creature.
