It's a grotesque, as said in the link you posted, not a gargoyle. A gargoyle needs a spout to convey water from a roof and away from the side of a building. A grotesque is purely aesthetical.

I understand not fully knowing this but why say gargoyle when the link clearly says grotesque both in the text and url?

9/10 readers won't know what a grotesque is

Reading comprehension of general population is the real grotesque.

What are those squiggly things between all the spaces?

[–] Jackthelad@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Obviously.

Why wouldn't there be?!
