Gargoyle Clan - Unknown Clans

Unknown Clans

As well as these clans, four clans have been mentioned by the show's creators, though they were never seen during the series. These clans are:

  • New Olympus Clan, who live on Mount Thanatos on the hidden island of New Olympus. An isolationist clan.
  • Loch Ness Clan, from Loch Ness in Scotland. The only semi-aquatic clan remaining, they protect the Loch Ness Monster species. They do not appear in the cartoon when Goliath and company go to the Loch Ness.
  • Xanadu Clan, from Xanadu in China. They protect the waning gargoyle beast population. Brooklyn's companion gargoyle beast Fu-Dog originated from this clan (though the time he visited China wasn't specified).
  • Korean Clan, from Pukhan, South Korea. They protect their concept of justice.

These four clans, together with the clans detailed in the animated series, make up the entire remaining gargoyle population on earth. Series creator Greg Weisman once estimated that the total population worldwide is only about 400.

Further, Greg Weisman has stated that more clans would have been created in the future had he had a chance to continue the series. These clans include:

  • New Wyvern Clan, formed on the former location of Wyvern Castle in Scotland
  • Camelot Clan, residing on the continent of Antarctica, in the location of New Camelot
  • Liberty Clan, founded on an island off the west coast of Canada
  • Notre Dame Clan, in Paris, France (a version of this clan appeared as a "Gargoyles" spoof in a Weisman-penned issue of Captain Atom)

In addition, other clans are shown to have existed in the past, which were wiped out by humans. In the multi-part "City of Stone," for example, Demona is shown to have led a clan of gargoyles several years after the destruction of the Wyvern clan, which Weisman indicates was created from remnants of several other destroyed Scottish clans. These gargoyles were later killed by the first and second Hunters. He once indicated that one of those clans was a "colony" created when the Wyvern clan was too large (though he admits to making that up to explain why a certain gargoyle model was used for a member of the original Wyvern and of Demona's clan).
