'''Stone and obsidian gargoyles''' are second level creatures of [[Tower]]. They are recruited in [[Parapet]].


In order to Summon Boat spell to work, there must be an unoccupied (free) [[tile]] to summon the [[boat]].
''"Stone and obsidian gargoyles are demon-form statues animated for use as troops. They attack with raking claws."{{-}}<sup>[[Restoration of Erathia Manual Page 113|RoE manual]]''</sup>


Additionally, on basic level there must also be an unoccupied boat. At advanced and expert level, a boat will be created if there are no free boats to summon. Summoning a boat will make the closest unoccupied boat to disappear, which sometimes can lead to tactical choise to cast the spell.
Building the [[Sculptor's Wings]] increases gargoyles' growth by 4 per week.


== It's not a bug, it's a feature ==
Though Stone and Obsidian Gargoyles are considered as non-living, they are still affected by [[morale]] and [[mind spells]].
It should be noted, that there can only be 64 boats on a given map at the same time. This might cause the spell to fail at advanced or expert level.
