The Gargoyle[1] is a scrapped Water Skylanders who was created for Skylanders: SuperChargers.
Character Development
Gargoyle was designed for Skylanders: SuperChargers, but they weren't approved and were soon scrapped after Vicarious Visions unsuccessfully made attempts to fit them into the battle ready lineup.[2] The development team still held a soft spot for the character, though, and used the gargoyle for one of their Game Developer Conference presentations on the modeling and posing process.
Some of its abilities involve spraying a powerful waterbreath, turning into a statue for temporary immunity and summoning fountains.

Trivia
- Gargoyle has another concept that has them having no visible nose.[3]
- A gargoyle is a type of grotesque - a decorative figure on a building - that acts as a spout on the sides of a building. By directing water away from the roof and out of the structure, they prevent the mortar from being damaged over time, using a trough on their backs as seen in the Unnamed Gargoyle.
- He can be played through file swapping.
- Coinicidently, the Sensei villain Grave Clobber would also have the ability to summmon fountains in Imaginators.
- The Gargoyle's ability to turn into a statue is perhaps a reference to the Disney animated series Gargoyles.
