Gargoyles Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Goliath — The entry states 'Most of the clan were betrayed and killed by humans while petrified' — in canon, the entire clan (except Goliath, Hudson, Demona, and the eggs) were killed by Vikings, not betrayed by humans; the betrayal was by the human captain and Demona,

Goliath — The entry says 'the remainder were placed under a magical sleep—not frozen in stone, but kept from waking until the castle rises above the clouds' — this is misleading: the gargoyles were already stone by day, and the spell (cast by the Magus) simply prevented

Demona — The claim that Puck's intervention was 'pre-Gathering' is incorrect; Puck cast the spell to free Demona in 'The Mirror', which occurs after the Gathering.

Demona — The claim that the Hunters destroyed the Manhattan Clan's clock tower home in 'Hunter's Moon' is incorrect; the clock tower was destroyed in 'The Gathering, Part Two'.

Broadway — The entry states Broadway Tower is a Grade II listed building, but it is actually Grade II* listed.

Manhattan Clan — The claim that 'Before their awakening in Manhattan, Goliath, Hudson, and Demona were the only gargoyles with names' is incorrect because the Wyvern Clan included named gargoyles such as Othello, Desdemona, and Iago.

Manhattan Clan — The claim that 'Hudson took his name from the Hudson River after seeing it on a map' is incorrect; he chose his name after seeing 'Hudson' on a street sign.

The Illuminati — The Illuminati's first appearance is in 'The Gathering' (Season 2, Part 1), not 'The Edge'.

The Illuminati — The Illuminati directly interacts with gargoyles in the episode 'The Gathering', not solely through David Xanatos.

Shadowkhan — The Shadowkhan were created by the Magus to serve the Weird Sisters, not specifically to guard Castle Wyvern.

King Arthur — Arthur appears in the episodes 'Avalon' (Part 1) and 'Avalon' (Part 2), not 'The Gathering'. He does not appear in the episode titled 'The Gathering'.

King Arthur — Arthur is accompanied by his knight Sir Gawain in the series, but the entry omits that Sir Gawain is actually a transformed gargoyle (Griff) in the Gargoyles canon, not a traditional human knight.

Merlin — Merlin was not transformed into a gargoyle-like being by the Weird Sisters; in canon, he was transformed by the magic of Avalon itself.

Merlin — The claim that Merlin 'orchestrates events across history to guide key figures like Goliath and Elisa Maza' is an overstatement; his direct involvement is limited and he is more a passive observer and occasional guide.
