'''Merchant Gargoyles''' were the greedy counterparts of [[Information Gargoyles]]. They sold or exchanged goods throughout [[Gallowmere]]. | |||
==History== | |||
In 1386 during the evil sorcerer [[Zarok]]'s second attempt at conquering Gallowmere, the Merchant Gargoyles provided their services to [[Sir Daniel Fortesque]]. | |||

As merchants are mute, their overall personality could not be determined. A book found in [[Dan's Crypt]] explaining gold coins stated that they were avaricious. This could be seen by how they voraciously gobbled up any coins offered them. They also expressed sadness when Sir Dan had second thoughts about purchasing from them. | |||
====Apocryphal account==== | |||
Other sources had observed these creatures as being as talkative and expressive as their green counterparts. They often presented as extremely eager to make a sale. | |||

Merchant Gargoyles do not appear in pre-release versions of the game from 1997. It is therefore likely they were conceptualised after the game's Zeldaesque redesign. | |||
====''MediEvil 2''==== | |||
Merchant Gargoyles did not return in the second ''MediEvil''. They were instead replaced by [[The Spiv]] who provides the same services as they did. | |||
