Gyrgolyte

The Gyrgolytes are a race of humanoid beings first seen during the Battle of Klondike Ridge, yet not yet recognized as a separate race from gargoyles at that point.

Biology
In their normal state, gyrgolites have similar properties to humans. Their skin is pale and their hair is often gray or white, no matter at what age and have gray eyes. Both hair and eyes seem to turn darker with age, from white to black, and some gorgolytes are known to have lived over 2000 years.

Except for their human properties, gyrgolytes have the ability to control their own DNA construction to temporarily turn into gargoyles. Recent studies show that the gyrgolytes have complete control over this transformation, and are therefore incredibly dangerous.

The Battle of Klondike Ridge
During the Battle of Klondike Ridge the gargoyles present in the battle are thought to be transformed gyrgolytes, as they proved to be stronger, more inteligent, and faster than regular gargoyles, who are a rather dim race.
