MANDATORY: ✓ Large, scaly wings capable of flight. These are teal, with a lighter-colored membrane. The undersides of her wings are decorated with a dark pattern in the shape of Reaper wings. ✓ Lizard-like claws in place of fingernails and toenails. ✓ Sharp fangs instead of teeth. ✓ Teal-colored scales on her upper arms, shoulders, and back. ✓ Scaly, talon-like feet capable of grasping. ✓ Excellent night vision and sharper eyesight. Gargoyles can make out small details, even from up in the air. ✓ Weakness to sunlight. Direct exposure will turn the Gargoyle into stone (or jade, or gold, or crystal - anything statues can be made of is fair game) until the sunlight no longer touches them, either because night has fallen or because they've been covered up. They are almost indestructible in statue form, but should try to avoid being in flight when the sun rises. Shoka's statue form is composed of black onyx, with red cat's eye garnet replacing her eyes. ✓ An affinity for fire magic. Despite their weakness to sunlight, Gargoyles can create fireballs in their hands to hurl at their enemies, and can make their own skin so hot it burns to touch. Because of this magic, they are also immune to fire. ✓ Hunger and hunting instinct. Gargoyles usually hunt by either directly attacking their prey or lifting them off the ground and dropping them from great heights. Hunting animals will satiate them for a short time, but the longer they go without hunting a human, the more they'll be compelled to do so until they start losing their self-control.
OPTIONAL: ✓ Two large, forward-facing horns on her head. They resemble the horns of a certain type of Noise. ✓ Teal-colored scales covering much of her body. Their color and pattern matches that of the iguana that belonged to her Reaper mentor, Ayano. ✓ Spines, like those of an iguana, along her lower back, the upper side of her tail, and under her chin. ✓ Yellow eyes with slit pupils. ✓ A forked tongue. ✓ Long, fin-like ears. ✓ A long, reptilian tail, resembling that of an iguana. ✓ The ability to breathe fire. ✓ The ability to influence the actions of humans by giving them commands while making eye contact. ✓ A proud nature. Gargoyles are both easily insulted and easily flattered. ✓ A hoarding instinct. Gargoyles can be very greedy and like to hold on to anything nice they've found, especially if it's shiny.
