This creature looks like a grotesque, winged humanoid with a horned head and a stony hide.

A gargoyle is a vicious flying predator that enjoys torturing creatures weaker than itself.
Gargoyles often appear to be winged stone statues, for they can perch indefinitely without moving and use this disguise to surprise their foes. They require no food, water, or air, but often eat their fallen foes out of fondness for inflicting pain. When not enjoying their favorite pastime, a wing of gargoyles can be found waiting silently for prey or bragging among themselves.
Gargoyles speak Common and Terran.
