Real World Background
In Clark Ashton Smith's short story "The Maker of Gargolyes", The second stone gargoyle carved for the cathedral of Vyones by embittered stonemason Blaise Reynard is a " horned satyr, with the vans of some great bat such as might roam the nether caverns, with sharp, clenching talons, and a look of Satanically brooding lust, as if it were gloating above the helpless object of its unclean desire". As in the Gargoyles comic, the stone satyr is supernaturally animated by Reynard's lust for the tavern maid Nicolette Villom. Similar to the Gargoyles version, the horned satyr subjects the defenseless Nicolette to an implied assault in her father's own tavern in the penultimate scene of the original story.
