What is Anastasia Renard's maiden name? (Titania obviously didn't use the "Renard" surname when she first assumed her Anastasia identity, given that she only met and married Halcyon Renard after she'd done so).
Greg responds...
I cannot tell you at this time.
Todd Jensen writes...
Slightly silly question, but: does Owen receive Workmen's Comp for that stone hand of his, after "The Price"?
Greg responds...
Owen is well-compensated. He doesn't need extras. Or the extra paperwork.

Hi, Greg,
Do you play - or played - videogame?
Greg responds...
We had a full-size arcade Pong machine when I was a kid.

<i>You said that the yeti would be seen in Gargoyles for sure. Is it an animal elated to the gargoyles or a gargoyle.
--------------------------------------Greg answered---------------
That story is actually written. It was written for Marvel's Gargoyle comic book before it was cancelled.</i>
Would Coldstone have been involved with this story?
Greg responds...
Yes.
matt writes...
okay, you don't have to tell me what Titania whispered to Fox, but Xanatos was standing right there, did he hear what Titania whispered? if not, did Fox tell him what Titania whispered to her?
Greg responds...
X did not hear. Fox did not tell him.
Blah writes...
Want to know something creepy? There is a real company called Xanatos Enterprises, and the guy who owns it is named David Xanatos. Check it out at www.xanatos.com
This company designs websites and has only been in existance for the last 2 years or so. But seriously, that's the guy's real name. He didn't get the idea from Gargoyles.
Just curious... if there ever was a spin off or continuation of Gargoyles, as you hope, would the fact that this company now exists cause name problems for the fictional Xanatos Enterprises? I mean, I know that Disney, as well as any other company involved in show business tends to stear away from potential legal issues like this. It's true that the name has been with Gargoyles longer, but I've seen similar changes made for lesser reasons.
Greg responds...
Well, you're not the first to mention this guy. And I'll simply repeat what I've said all along. There was no Xanatos Enterprises when the show began. There was a "Xanacorp" however. I know this because Disney did a very thorough legal search. That makes us safe to continue using our name.
Someone once told me that this guy's middle name is "David". And that he got the name for his company (and the idea to feature his middle name over his first) from our series. I'm not sure if that's true. But if it is, it's flattering.
matt writes...
since Cuchalin had a garg beast, is it safe to presume that there was once at least one garg clan in Ireland?
if so, what was this clans relationship to the feud between Cuchalin and the Banche if any? was the clan not involved, Cuchalin's allies, etc....
Greg responds...
Yes, at one point there was an Irish garg clan. No more details are currently forthcoming.
Dexter writes...
Hello Greg-Alright, so this one is about Angela's hair. It's it just coincidence that her hair style is exactly like Princess Jasmine's from Alladin, or did you guys over a Disney just do that to be cute? I'm not trying to be an asshole (wow it's a miracle) I like her hair. Hmmm, she'd look pretty gorgeous with it down though, rrrrrrrroaw!
Greg responds...
I don't know. I assume it's a coincidence, but we were all in the same building so maybe we were influenced some. Greg Guler's original design for Demona had that sort of pony-tail. Frank didn't want that for Demona, so I had it brought back for Angela.

Where in Loch Ness does the Loch Ness Clan live?
Did the Loch Ness monster have any involvement in the survival of the clan?
Greg responds...
The fate of the clan and the monster are intertwined.

Axem Gold writes...
I know where the Phoenix Gate really came from. It came from the writer's of the Gargoyle Animated Series.
Greg responds...
Okay.
Anonymous writes...
You said that the scenario in Bushido was purposely similar to that surrounding the Wyvern massacre so was the scenario of the two were panthers purposely similar to MacBeth's and Demona's scenario which is a fay giving mortals extraordinary power for a price?
Greg responds...
Parallels exist so deep in the tapestry, that I won't deny them here. But I wasn't conscious of it, no.
Anonymous writes...
How does the Matrix armor that Dingo wears work? Does it work like the symbiotes from Spider-man ?
Greg responds...
Not familiar with the whatever from Spider-Man. (Capital M, by the way.)
Axem Gold writes...
I read the question asking you where Demona got those other Gargoyles in City of Stone. You replied say she got them in Walmart. Just one thing, did she buy them or steal them.
Greg responds...
I am now supposed to give a smart-ass response to a smart-ass response to one of my smart-ass responses.
This kind of thing is illegal in most states.
(Sorry, best I could come up with.)
kim writes...
why don't you put the show on ABC.Because some people that hade Toon D. and loved Gargoyles and don't have it no more. wuold greatly like it if you would put the show on ABC or CBS. the bigest fan of gargoyles please!!! please:)
Greg responds...
Not up to me. Right? Not. Up. To. Me.
I'm glad you're a big fan. But you might try reading the archives on "Bringing Gargoyles Back".
Lilly writes...
why don't you put the show on ABC
Greg responds...
Why don't you? You've got as much clout as I do, certainly.
Bruno writes...
Hi, Greg,
Does the gargs have problems with tooth decay?
I'm asking this because I'm in the middle of a root canal treatment, and it HURTS!!!
Greg responds...
no.
Anonymous writes...
The Children of Oberon who are the gods of legends thus they must be the first race and they are made of pure magic. The gargoyles who are the second race have some magic in them since they can turn themselves and their equipment into stone. While humans who are the third race can't perform any feats of magic unless they have a spell book. So my question is the magic energy on the Earth diminishing?
Greg responds...
Faulty premise.
Gargoyles are the first of these three. That is, the oldest. They don't do any magic themselves. Turning to stone is a biological process. Turning they're gear to stone was a human magical spell, inflicted upon them.
Humans evolved second.
The Children incubated in magic and "evolved" third.
Anonymous writes...
Since Titania was derived from Queen Mab and eventually replacing her as Queen of the Fairies in the folktales then can we assume that Oberon's father was the figure in folktales that Oberon was derived from ?
Greg responds...
Your premise seems faulty to me.
LittleLotusFlower writes...
Hey, I'm new to the whole question thing, but I've been a fan for years. I've been wanting to ask a question that's bothered me and my brother for years. Can you possibly tell me the make and model od Elisa's car? Is it a real car in existance, or just a creation from the fine people at Disny?
Greg responds...
There's some disagreement about this. I was always under the impression that it was a Ford Fairlane. Or largely a Ford Fairlane. Roy Sato tells me it isn't exactly that. I forget what he said it was. A combo of a few models and makes, I think. I assume the Fairlane's in there, but I'm no longer even sure of that.
Roy?

Why did the Weird Sisters have Demona and MacBeth steal Coldstone? I mean MacBeth and Demona stole it to make sure that the Gargoyles didn't find out about the theft of the three talismans, but what did the sisters have to gain from it? They could have teleported the duo beyond the grasp of the gargoyles.
Greg responds...
Demona and Macbeth were not in control.
The point was to steal the three items without alerting Goliath's suspicions. Stealing Coldstone accomplished that. Goliath never even realized the three items were missing. Teleporting has nothing to do with anything.
Dexter writes...
Hey guess who? Yeah I honestly couldn't remember if i asked this yet or not, so if it sounds rather familiar, then just void it!
Alright, here I go! When me and Angela get married, if she were to lay an egg would she build a nest? I know that the clan lays eggs in a rookery, but since she'd be the only gargoyle around, would she just build a nest for her egg outta palm tree leaves or something? Or maybe she'd convert my basement into a rookery...I don't know. Please do tell!
Greg responds...
She's not the only garg around.
And, dex, you're starting to creep me out a bit.
Alex "Cyclonus" Bishansky writes...
When Goliath put on the Eye of odin, how come his armor looked like Odin's? Neither Fox not the Archmage took on any of elements of Odin's appearance.
Greg responds...
Proximity is literally part of the reason.
Goliath became an avatar of Odin, much like Jackal did for Anubis.
Anonymous writes...
Did you ever have plans to introduces figures from major religons such as Hinduism, Islam and Christianity?
Greg responds...
I already have.
Anonymous writes...
Is the Magus actually dead? Couldn't the magic in the hollow cave heal him like it healed King Arthur?
Greg responds...
Dead as far as I'm concerned. (And that ain't what healed Arthur.)
Anonymous writes...
Which one of the four races created the Holy Grail? Why?
Greg responds...
Humans. Originally, it was just a cup. Why is any cup created?
Anonymous writes...
Who are the Green Knight's parents?
Who are Morgan le Fay's parents?
Who are Nimue's parents?
Greg responds...
1. Haven't thought about it.
2. Gorlois and Ygraine thought they were her biological parents. Uther was her step-father.
3. Gorlois and Ygraine were her biological parents.
matt writes...
1. ok, so there are two beasts in the Avalon clan in 1996, both female, right?
2. you said a while ago that both of these beasts will have eggs in the next rookery, we know Bronx was Boidekka's mate so who is the father of the other beasts pups? is it also Bronx?
3. do garg beasts mate for life?
4. are garg beasts monogamous?
Greg responds...
1. Did I say that? Exactly that? Sounds wrong.
2. Again, your premise sounds faulty. But, no, Bronx did not sire pups off two separate beasts.
3. Yes.
4. Yes.
matt writes...
among the Avalon clan, how did they choose Gabriel as their leader? did Katherine, Tom and or the Magus decide or did the gargs vote or what? did he then choose his second or did whoever made him leader decide his second too?
Greg responds...
There was a sort of confirmation among the gargs, but Gabe pretty much emerged as leader. He wasn't "running" against anyone. He chose his own second.

What's the purpose of the 2198 contest? (In other words, what does one win if they get the correct answers?) Where can I find it to attempt any guesses considering that I've been wondering what it is that so many people have been posting about?
Greg responds...
1. If there is a purpose, I'd be horrified.
2. I have no idea yet. But I assure you it will be virtually worthless.
3. Where? Well, you could look at the Gargoyles 2198 Contest archive. Or am I misunderstanding your question.
