Gargoyles are stone figures, often depicting grotesque faces or figures, traditionally used as architectural features on churches and cathedrals. Their primary purpose is to channel rainwater away from the building's walls to prevent erosion. Additionally, they sometimes serve as decorative elements meant to ward off evil spirits. The term can also refer to similar designs in modern architecture or popular culture.
