Do the gargoyles have any kind of religion in their own culture?

If so, can you tell anything about their religion without giving anything about future plans away?

Greg responds...

Check the Gargoyle Customs Archive here at ASK GREG. And if you've got further questions after reading that, come back and ask.

Would any Gargoyles and New Olympians take up human vices in the future like smoking and drinking?

Greg responds...

It's possible.

Have gargoyles ever converted to human religions in the past?

Greg responds...

Maybe, once or twice.

I had asked whether gargoyles voted before...To be more specific.
Say a gargoyle leader chooses a second-in-command, the leader dies and the new leader is corrupt and so on. And the clan despises him. Could they knock him down a few blocks so to say? Could they be like a pride of lions where as someone comes forward to fight for leadership? Or would it be more like impeachment or banishment when the whole clan votes to kick him/her out and/or vote for a new leader?

Greg responds...

I suppose they'd boot him if it was necessary. But this doesn't sound likely.

If Gargoyles traditionally do not give themselves names, (as Goliath's Clan made clear in The first five episodes) how is it that all of the other isolated clans around the world have names, when Goliath stumbles upon them in the world tour?

Greg responds...

A lot of time has passed.

1) Please tell us how to practice a Wind Ceremony (didn´t find a detailed description what it is about in the archives)
If your first answer doesn´t contain it:
1a) What does a Gargoyle do the moment or the first minutes after a fellow died? Is there a special rite?
1b) What do they do with the dead body? Burying? Burning?
1c) At wich point of time starts the so called "Wind Ceremony"?

2) Are there any other special gargoyle rites or ceremonys you would tell us about?

Greg responds...

1. Then you weren't looking very hard. Did you check "Gargoyle Customs". That's as detailed a description as I can give right now.

1a. Nothing immediate. Nothing Klingon.

1b. Depends. Check out the archives.

1c. Huh?

2. Sure.

Gargoyle questions:

1. About what point in time did the London clan start using names?
2. About what point in time did the Ishimura clan start using names?
3. Do all the clans still in existance use names now?

Greg responds...

1. Don't know yet.

2. Don't know yet, but they had them by the time Brooklyn LEFT.

3. No.

The 2198 contest, plus some posts I've read recently, leads me to try and ask the following question about names: since gargoyles were not initially named, and seem to have let humans name them or be involved in the naming process, will this be the case with future hatchlings?

Any more detail on this question and I fear it'll look like an idea, so I hope it is clear. Since it is a future-looking question, I also respect if you choose to pass on it.

Greg responds...

Gargoyles will be more involved in their names and naming from this point on. But each case is case specific, so it's hard to generalize.

Do gargoyles celebrate birthdays? Christmas? And I know they did in Eye of the Beholder, but before then, Halloween?

Greg responds...

Hatchdays are big and communal. Christmas isn't. Halloween is now fun for them.
