"We have failed the Master! We give our lives!" ― Boulder Gargoyles, before killing themselves.

The Boulder Gargoyles (died 1386) were a pair of statues sitting atop Cemetery Hill. They were servants of Zarok.

History

The Evernight

The Boulder Gargoyles were brought to life by Zarok's magic after Sir Dan reached Cemetery Hill. Afterwards, the Gargoyles begun hurling boulders from their mouths to bar Dan's progress up the hill. When Dan reached them, they lamented over having failed Zarok and sacrificed themselves by exploding.

Gameplay

The Gargoyles spit two types of rock, one that is smashable and one that isn't.

MediEvil: Resurrection

The Boulder Gargoyles have a piece of dialogue in build 0.26 of the game that can no longer be heard in the final version, where they say nothing at all. The dialogue is reminiscent of what they say in the original game when Dan reaches the top of the hill:
