The Gargoyles are enemy creatures created for the original Dragon's Lair arcade game for a scene that ultimately went unused; a completed animation sequence for the scene appeared on the Dragon's Lair 20th Anniversary Special Edition DVD. A group of Gargoyles toss spears at Dirk as he attempted to cross a subterranean moat to reach a treasure chest which hides a secret exit.
The Gargoyles appear as stage enemies in Dragon's Lair 3D: Return to the Lair (alternatively referred to as "One-Eyed Pigs"). They attack using spears which boost their range-based attacks and defensive abilities.
