The '''Deathgoyle''' (Japanese: {{hover|デスガーゴイル|Desugaagoiru}}, ''Deathgargoyle'') class is a [[monster]] class that originates, and so far only appears in, {{FE8}}. Deathgoyles are a stronger version of the [[Gargoyle]] class, and can be considered a [[Class change|"promotion"]] of the gargoyle. They are flying reptilian monsters that use [[lance (weapon)|lances]], and they have strengths and stats equivalent to promoted units, similar to the playable [[Falcoknight]], [[Wyvern Knight]], or [[Wyvern Lord]] classes.

Deathgoyles are quite formidable monsters. They have high [[strength]], [[speed]], and [[defense]], and their ability to fly means that they can attack units from many sides, unhindered by [[terrain]]. However, since gargoyles are flying units, they are vulnerable to [[bow (weapon)|bows]] and the [[Wind Sword]]. Additionally, since they have low [[resistance]], they are easily defeated by [[Magic (element)|magic]].
The '''Deathgoyle''' (Japanese: {{hl|デスガーゴイル|Desugāgoiru}} ''Deathgargoyle'' or {{hl|バルログ|Barurogu}} ''Balrog'') is an enemy-exclusive [[monster]] [[class]] which was introduced in {{FE2}} and so far only appears in it, its remake {{title|Echoes: Shadows of Valentia}}, and {{title|The Sacred Stones}}. They are a species of flying, [[lance]] or [[scythe]]-wielding reptilian monster and are a magically-enhanced variant of the [[Gargoyle]] monster species. They are classified as an [[:Category:Advanced classes|advanced class]] and the [[Class change|"promoted"]] version of the Gargoyle. They tend to appear in the later parts of the games instead of regular Gargoyles, in ''Gaiden'' appearing for a single map in Act&nbsp;5.


As a flying class, Deathgoyles act as a monster equivalent of the playable [[Falcoknight]], [[Wyvern Knight (The Sacred Stones)|Wyvern Knight]], and [[Wyvern Lord]] classes. They have high [[strength]], [[speed]], and [[defense]], and with their high [[movement]] and ability to fly without being hindered by [[terrain]], they are adept at quickly closing in and swarming the player's army in numbers. However, in ''The Sacred Stones'', their nature as a flying class makes them vulnerable to [[bow]]s and the [[Wind Sword]]. Additionally, since they have low [[resistance]], they are easily defeated by [[Magic (element)|magic]].

The Deathgoyle (Japanese: デスガーゴイル Deathgargoyle or バルログ Balrog) is an enemy-exclusive monster class which was introduced in Fire Emblem Gaiden and so far only appears in it, its remake Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, and The Sacred Stones. They are a species of flying, lance or scythe-wielding reptilian monster and are a magically-enhanced variant of the Gargoyle monster species. They are classified as an advanced class and the "promoted" version of the Gargoyle. They tend to appear in the later parts of the games instead of regular Gargoyles, in Gaiden appearing for a single map in Act 5.

As a flying class, Deathgoyles act as a monster equivalent of the playable Falcoknight, Wyvern Knight, and Wyvern Lord classes. They have high strength, speed, and defense, and with their high movement and ability to fly without being hindered by terrain, they are adept at quickly closing in and swarming the player's army in numbers. However, in The Sacred Stones, their nature as a flying class makes them vulnerable to bows and the Wind Sword. Additionally, since they have low resistance, they are easily defeated by magic.
