The elemental gargoyle is the alternate upgrade of the stone gargoyle, the second-level creature of the Academy, in Heroes of Might and Magic V add-on, Tribes of the East. The elemental gargoyle not only lacks the immunities of the obsidian gargoyle, it replaces them with vulnerabilities, making it far easier to kill with spells. Its strength, however, is that it extends these vulnerabilities to the enemies it stands next to, making it easier for the Wizards to destroy them with spells.
