What do Gargoyles Represent?

Initially, a gargoyle did not really represent anything. There are some possible legends that may or may not be associated with the creature but the common thought of what a gargoyle represents is a downspout. The word seems to be derived from the French word for throat. The creatures were carved downspouts on buildings.
