Gargoyles didn't *have* skeletons. AFAICT, other than the
tube/tunnel/waterspout inside each for the rain to gurgle through, they were
solid rock.
A gargoyle might be sculpted to look like a person or devil or dragon
or other specific creature, or simply some nameless grotesque, but I don't
believe there was any standardized form that a medieval would recognize as a
"gargoyle" if he saw it in the flesh, so to speak.
Your honours in dutie.
