Once again I took a look at the old clan contest, but some things make me think.

1. If I understood it, the 10 currently existing clans are the following: Manhattan, Labyrinth, London, Ishimura, Guatemala, Avalon, Xanadu, Loch Ness and New Olympus - is that right?

2) So what´s the thing with London? Does it mean, that not only the little clan which met Goliath&Co at their journey lives in london, but that the bigger clan they came from (which we where not introduced yet) is also located in London? Does it mean all Gargoyles, that are living in England, are living in London?

3. What is the thing with the Labyrinth? I didn´t get it. Which labyrinth is meant? The one the Minotaurus was locked up? Or the hedge labyrinth? Or another?
- PS: Ooooh, now I´ve got an idea: Could it be, that you mean the Labyrinth in Manhattans Underground? (I never thought of it as a Gargoyleclan, cause there´s no real Gargoyle living in, but just human mutates.)

5. If the Loch Ness clan is currently existing, why didn´t they help the Nessies, when they where in danger?

6. England, Japan, Guatemala, China, Korea - in all these countrys are Gargoyles already living in the Dark Ages, aren´t they?

6) About how many clans where in each of this countrys?

7) In which countrys have in the Dark Ages also been clans, but totally stamped out or expeled during the following centuries?

8) When the englishmen hunted their gargoyles and drove them out of their land, how did it come, that one gargoyleclan survived and that they didn´t find them during all the centurys?

9) Did any of the english gargoyles flee into another land, when they where hunted? If so, what happened to them?

Greg responds...

1. You forgot Korea.

2. As I've mentioned before, the clan lives in London's suburbs. The store which is manned by a small contingent from the clan, is in Soho.

3. Well, if you saw the series you should know (or perhaps recall) that the Mutates and the Gargoyle Clones lived in what they called "The Labyrinth" underneath Manhattan's streets with a bunch of homeless humans.

4. You didn't have a 4.

5. Who said they didn't? We just didn't see them.

6. (The First 6). Huh?

6. (The Second 6). One each.

7. Lots. And lots before the Dark Ages too. Assuming I understand the question.

8. They hid in plain sight for the most part.

9. Maybe.

Most of the gargoyles we've met look different depending on where they live. The Ishimura gargoyles have Japanese dress obviously, but also Zafiro and the London gargoyles have obvious differences. We have an idea from Griff's words in 'M.I.A.' that the Scottish gargoyles nowadays large resemble how they looked in 994. You also suggested in your 'bible' that the Chinese gargoyles might be dragon-like but what about in other places?

Do the gargoyles in New Olympus and Korea look any different? And what about the Paris gargoyles?

Greg responds...

The Paris clan is a colony of the other 13 clans that precede it.

There are many physical differences between some of the clans. Fewer between others. At some point, we might try and do a migration pattern thing. But I haven't done it yet.

After "THE JOURNEY", how long would it be before people twigged that there were London gargoyles? Una and Leo must look pretty realistic and the enormous differences in appearance probably won't concern people looking for nocturnal guys with wings, claws and talons.

Greg responds...

Maybe.

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.

Some questions on the clans:

1) You said that the New Camelot area would still have normal day/night cycles and the temperature would be regulated so that the knights don't freeze. =) a) Is Merlin in any way responsible for these effects? b) Will New Camelot be self-sustainable? (i.e.--the area would be able to provide the knights with food, cloth and other necessary items?) c) Because of the day/night cycles, does time move differently there? d) How do the clan travel from Antarctica to the other continents? (by boat, plane, or some other way?)

2a) When you picked Korea as a clan location, was it simply to pay homage to the ones there who helped animate the show, or did you have some other reason, and can you say what that is? b) Which spin-offs might feature the Korea clan?

3a) Is there any particular reason why you didn't make any surviving clans live in Africa? b) Were there ever any clans in Africa? c) If so, did they migrate elsewhere, or were they completely wiped out?

Greg responds...

1a. In any way? Yes, I guess.

1b. Not entirely.

1c. No.

1d. Depends.

2a. Both homage and another reason. I don't want to say now.

2b. Don't know yet. They were originally scheduled for the World Tour, but we just didn't have enough episodes to get to them.

3a. No.

3b. I'm sure at one point.

3c. Some of each.

I just found this question in the archives:

I've noticed that a lot of people are putting Antarctica down for the clan contest. But since Antarctica basically has one long day and one long night, what kind of effect would that have on the gargoyles stone sleep cycle?

Greg responds...
I can't answer this question while the contest is on-going. Ask me when or if the contest ever ends.

I'll go ahead and take you up on that one.

1. How does the long day/night cycle affect the New Camelot clan?

2. Or is the day/night cycle one of the things about the continent that changes between 1994 and 2158?

3. Is the unusual length of days and nights one of the reasons why Antarctica was chosen as the location of New Camelot?

Greg responds...

1. It doesn't, because of the nature of New Camelot.

2. The cycle doesn't change Continent-wide, but New Camelot is an exception.

3. No.

Since Paris is one the 14 clans that will exist in the far future gargoyle series that was originally Gargoyles 2158 but now being revised I was wondering was there a Gargoyle clan living in Paris at the time of Goliath's awakening or will a Paris clan only exist if Gargoyles from other clans come to Paris to create a new one later on?

Greg responds...

The Paris clan does not yet exist in the revised 2158. It's even farther down the road. There were no Gargoyles living in Paris in 1994.

Guatemalan gargoyle questions:

1. Do the pendants worn by the clan also rejuvenate them, as they don't turn to stone while wearing the pendants?

2. Do gargoyles wearing the pendants age at half-speed like normal gargoyles, of at a human rate since they don't become stone?

3. Were Zafiro, Jade, Turquesa, and Obsidiana the only members of their clan who normally used the pendants, or were they just the gargoyles wearing them when the rest of the clan was destroyed?

Greg responds...

1. No.

2. Human rate. There's a cost.

3. They had the honor of being the pendant wearers at the time.

Some Guatemala questions:

1a) If a clan has survived there all this time, why didn't the Mayans that shared the temple with them also survive? b) Were the Mayans killed/kidnapped/dispersed as recently as the raid that took out most of the clan, or did it happen long ago?

2) I was wondering if Jade's headdress bore any kind of significance? Does he have a status that differs from the others in the clan?

3a) Can any in the clan perform magic? b) Would anyone in the Gargoyles Universe (still living) have the knoweldge and the power to make another sun amulet and set of magic pendants?

4a) You mentioned that Jade and Turquesa would go on a few skiff adventures before returning home. In which spin-off would you imagine these adventures might be seen in? 4b) If you're willing, please mention one location where they will travel to.

5) Will they be allowed to bring their pendants with them when they enter Avalon? If not, what will they do with them?

Greg responds...

1a. Long story.

1b. Long ago.

2. I'm sure it has some significance.

3a. Obsidiana has limited abilities with potions and as a healer.

b. Possbily.

4a. Just in GARGOYLES.

4b. Just one? Back to Guatemala, of course. ;)

5. Leave 'em on the raft, I guess.

Todd Jensen writes...

Well, we now know that the Xanadu clan is one of the currently-existing clans, alongside the gargoyles in Korea and New Olympus. And based on the evidence in "Heritage", I'd assume that the Queen Florence Island clan is one of the clans that won't be introduced until after 2158 (or whatever the new year for "Gargoyles 2158" will be).

So which of the two remaining clans is the tenth present-day one? Loch Ness or Paris? (I'm thinking Loch Ness myself, since it's easier to imagine a gargoyle clan successfully hiding in Loch Ness than in Paris, and because you indicated in your answer about Taro's theme park that there aren't any gargoyles in Paris currently, but I'd just like to make certain).

Greg responds...

Paris is clan 14, which is as far into the future as my thoughts have gone. (Way beyond the start of the revised future-set show.)
