Notes
To edit these notes, go to Template:Stoneskin Gargoyle notes.
- Stoneskin Gargoyle's triggered effect attempts to heal the minion itself for an amount equal to the difference between its maximum and current Health.[1] This is different from all other effects that restore a character to full Health (such as
Ancestral Healing and 
Reno Jackson), since they always attempt to heal their target character for an amount equal to its maximum Health. - When used in combination with Auchenai Soulpriest or
Embrace the Shadow, this minion's triggered effect will deal damage instead.[2]
- Example: If you control an Auchenai Soulpriest, a 1/3 Stoneskin Gargoyle will inflict (4 - 3) = 1 damage to itself, thus becoming a 1/2.

Lore
Stoneskin Gargoyles are undead gargoyle mobs found in the Plague Quarter of Naxxramas.
This section uses content from the Warcraft Wiki.- The dreaded gargoyles of Northrend are voracious flying creatures who revel in slaughter and mayhem.
- Brought from the frozen north by the armies of the Lich King, these strange, wiry flyers have rough, crystalline hides which protect them from all manner of attacks. Gargoyles make effective scouts and can be deadly if left to rain attacks from the air, but they have a very obvious weakness. Most of them have to go through long periods resting as stone to maintain the energy they need to carry their heavy bodies through the air. In times of great peril, gargoyles also land and condense their crystalline hides into the stone-like surface to make themselves nearly impervious to any forms of attacks. Though they are unable to attack in this state, they can take time to regenerate their wounds and replenish their energies. The grotesque is a smaller gargoyle that is used to divert the flow of rainwater on Scourge buildings to prevent mausoleum flooding.
- Gargoyles were brought to Lordaeron by Arthas for the siege of Silvermoon. Now, gargoyles live in the Eastern Plaguelands and the Ghostlands. There are also some gargoyles affiliated with the Twilight's Hammer and the Old Gods. It is unknown if these are related to the Scourge gargoyles or if they have been created by the Old Gods.
Trivia
- The artwork for this card comes from the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game "Icecrown" series, for the card Stonespine Gargoyle.
