The Gargoyle (called the harpy demon by some fans, or flying demon before the Google Stadia footage) is a new monster introduced in Doom Eternal. Little of it was seen in the QuakeCon gameplay footage, but what is known is that it can flutter in the air or land, possibly for terrestrial combat, though this has yet to be confirmed. They appear as small, frail humanoids with bat-like wings.

Google Stadia Footage

In the Google Stadia gameplay footage, it can be seen shooting yellow fireballs at the player, and, after killing it, the a codex entry message will be displayed with the confirmed name Gargoyle.

Trivia

A flying demon called the "imp" was originally detailed in the Doom Bible by Tom Hall during Doom's initial development, before the name of imp was reassigned to what was then known as the "demon trooper." It is presently unconfirmed whether or not this detail has had an influence on this new monster design.
