"Verity"

Hudson's Mate was an unnamed, female gargoyle of the Wyvern Clan.

History

Hudson's mate hatched in 878 in the rookery below Wyvern Hill. Little is known about her life, but we do know that by 927 she and that gargoyle we would later come to know as Hudson had become mates and conceived their first egg that year. In all, Hudson and his mate would be rookery parents to the hatchlings of the 938, 958, and 978 generations. This means that they are literally the rookery parents to every gargoyle known among the Wyvern Clan. Unfortunately, there was no chance for Hudson's mate to do much mothering of the 978 generation as she died in 971 while they were unhatched eggs. The cause of her death is unknown.

Though never known to anyone, Hudson's Mate was in fact the biological mother to Hyppolyta, Broadway and True.

Characteristics

Hudson's mate has never been seen "on screen" so her exact appearance remains a mystery for the moment. However, knowing the characteristics of Hudson and Broadway, and having a rough description of Hyppolyta, makes it possible to extrapolate on her features. These are, at best, good guesses about her, and since gargoyle heredity is still somewhat enigmatic, it is quite possible they are inaccurate.

Hudson's mate probably had many of the features that Broadway does, but Hudson does not. Her coloring and ear shape were probably the same as Broadway's, and both Hyppolyta and Broadway are hairless so Hudson's mate almost certainly was too. Her wings and tail could have had any variety of the forms seen among the Wyvern and Avalon Clan gargoyles, or perhaps something not seen yet. It seems possible to get a general idea of the shape of her horns and brow because of the difference between Hudson and Broadway's horns. Hudson has three small horns on each side of his forehead, Broadway has three small horns running down the center of his forehead. With this information, it seems very possible that Hudson's mate had simple brow ridges (like Broadway) and some sort of horn(s) along the middle of her forehead in the same place, but not of the same kind, as Broadway's. Nothing else is known.

Other

Hudson's mate would have presumably held a role in the spinoff Gargoyles: The Dark Ages.
