Gargoyles will always be very dark beings, even if we only admire them as cultural heritage. They arose in medieval times, above all
in the Gothic, with the inheritance of the fantastic bestiary of Greco-Latin mythology, have exerted an impressive influence on observers of all later times. Famous those of the cathedral of Notre Dame; hopefully the recent fire has not destroyed them. This one you show us in your photo, @velimir, is very striking. A kind of dog with dragon eyes -perhaps- has its greatest effect thanks to the leaden black color given by its material, and, of course, your framing.
