The '''Gargoyle''' (Japanese: {{hover|ガーゴイル|Gaagoiru}} ''Gargoyle'') is a [[monster]] class that originates in {{FE2}} and returns in {{FE8}}. In both instances, it is an enemy-only class. Gargoyles are flying beasts that attack fiercely and often in groups. In ''Gaiden'', gargoyles don't have an assigned weapon type, though their animation depicts them attacking with a scythe, a weapon that does not appear anywhere else in the series. In ''The Sacred Stones'', they use [[lance (weapon)|lances]], making them similar to the playable [[Pegasus Knight]] or [[Wyvern Rider]] classes.

Gargoyles through series history have had two "[[class change|promotions]]". In their original game, ''Gaiden'' the more powerful variant, and thus the "promoted" version, was the [[Balrog]]. ''The Sacred Stones'' introduced a different promoted variant, the [[Deathgoyle]]. As in both games gargoyles appear in, they are unable to actually promote, but these are considered promotions due to similarity between the classes and an increase in power.
