One little piece in your "Names" ramble that puzzled me - the description of Bronx (or the character that would become Bronx) as "angst-ridden". I must confess that Bronx never seemed "angst-ridden" to me. (Actually, most of the time, it's rather difficult to say what might be going on in Bronx's head). Or was that description meant to be an ironic one?

Greg responds...

Our original thinking on Bronx was much more comic, much more comic-relief. (Todd, you just gotta come to a Gathering and see the original pitch art and the original design of the character.)

Frank Paur was instrumental in transforming Bronx (first visually, the rest followed) into the beast we know and love.

Hello Greg
You said that Bronx and Boudicca were mates and would mate but you posted that Bronx in 9 at the end of 1996 and since Boudicca is from Angela's rookery you said she would be 20 at the end of 1996.
So my questions are
1) Can Gargoyle Beasts mate at 9 years old?
2) If yes to question 1 why didn't Boudicca already mate?

Greg responds...

1. Yes.

2. Cycles.

1) Ed previously asked how old Cagney was, and you asked "when?". So how old was he at the end of "The Journey"?

2a) Sadly, cats have nowhere near the lifespan of gargoyle beasts, and eventually, Cagney will pass away. Do you think Elisa would get another pet to replace him? b) Bronx is sort of the gargoyles' pet, but does Elisa consider him a little like her pet as well?

3a) How many offspring will Bronx and Boudicca have? b) Do all the pups stay with their mother on Avalon, or will any join their father in Manhattan? c) Will the other female beast that you said lived on Avalon also have a pup at the same time as Boudicca?

Greg responds...

1. About three.

2a. Don't know yet. Maybe.

2b. Not exactly. Like your best friend's pet.

3a. One for starters.

3b. With the Avalon clan for starters.

3c. Most likely.

You've mentioned that Bronx wouldn't be hatched when DARK AGES began. Would he have been hatched later down the line in the series?

---Ytt

Greg responds...

Yes. If we lasted long enough. Dark Ages starts in 971. Bronx hatches in 978. But in my dreams, we'd run the Dark Ages series for 23 years... from 971 to 994.

1) Given your habit of recycling names back into the show, I was wondering if you had plans of reusing the name "Tribeca" that you had originally assigned to Bouddica?

2) Who came up with the name and how? I just found out that Tribecca is a place in NY. It makes me wonder why you were going to give that name to a beast from Avalon, though.

Greg responds...

1. That was Brynne's name (or Lydia's) not mine. So it's less desperate to get attention in my head. But anything's possible, and that kind of thing amuses me. So who knows?

2. I never was. It would have made no sense. It was just a place-holder in a script where the beast was seen but not named in dialogue. It gave us another couple weeks to come up with an actual name.

matt writes...

what is the average lifespan of a gargoyle beast?
are multipule births more common among gargoyle beast?

Greg responds...

Hard to say given the lack of grand old gargoyle beasts around. But I'd say about 160-180 years.

No.

Clan Census writes...

About what percentage of the gargoyle population (at Wyvern 994, if not worldwide) is comprised of beasts, like Bronx and Boudicca?

Greg responds...

Worldwide, ten percent, I guess.

But the question is strange. Like asking "About what percentage of the human population is comprised of chimpanzees?"

Hi again, Greg!

Do gargoyle beasts mate for life like sentient gargoyles do? You've said that Bronx and Boudicca have mated and will mate again. Does this preclude them from mating with other beasts they may meet? (Poor Bronx, stuck in a long distance relationship.)

Thanks for your time.

Greg responds...

Yes. Basically.

Rewriting an older questions...About cat-goyles. Bad phrasing and all. What I meant was, Bronx is a gargoyles beast with dog-like attibutes. He barks, growls, pants, etc. I was wondering if there were any cat-like gargoyle beasts? Gargoyle beasts that purred, hissed, cleaned themselves, etc.

Greg responds...

Maybe...
