What is another word for Gurgoyle?
Pronunciation: [ɡˈɜːɡɔ͡ɪl] (IPA) 
Gargoyles are legendary creatures with grotesque features commonly seen in Gothic art. The term "gurgoyle" is sometimes mistakenly used instead of "gargoyle," but both words refer to the same thing. Some synonyms for the word "gargoyle" include "chimera," "hunchback," "ogre," and "grotesque." These words reflect the eerie, disturbing quality of gargoyles. They are often found on the roofs of cathedrals and other historic buildings, with the purpose of diverting rainwater from the roof away from the structure. Despite their practical purpose, gargoyles are also seen as symbolic guardians, creatures that ward off evil spirits and protect the buildings they adorn.
