Gargoyles in Heretic E1M1

Gargoyles and Fire Gargoyles are small, red and have wings, allowing them to float and fly around the map.

Normal Gargoyles at close range slash at the player with their claws and can dive at the player from range to quickly close the distance. They have 40 Hit points.

Fire Gargoyles instead of both the above attacks, throw small fireballs at the player. Fire Gargoyles also have 80 Hit Points, the same as the regular Golem.

Gargoyles appear on almost every level of Heretic.

Tactical analysis

Gargoyles are smaller than other bad guys making them harder to hit. The ability to fly and their small size grants them a high level of mobility and ability access small areas.

The Fire Gargoyle doesn't possess either the ability to dash or attack the player in melee like the standard Gargoyle.

While Gargoyles may be easy to dispatch individually, they often appear in large groups where they can potentially overwhelm the player.

  1. These tables assume that all calls to P_Random for damage, pain chance, impact animations, backfire checks, and smoke trails are consecutive. In real play, this is never the case: counterattacks and AI pathfinding must be handled, and of course the map may contain additional moving monsters and other randomized phenomena (such as flickering lights). Any resulting errors are probably toward the single-shot average, as they introduce noise into the correlation between the indices of "consecutive" calls.
  2. Fire Gargoyles are immune to eachothers fireballs and hence can not damage each other excepting indirect damage caused by exploding puff pods.
