Human

Humans, also called Homo sapiens, are the dominant species on planet Earth (or, at least, they think they are). They are classified in the Order of Primates.

Gargoyles refer to humans as the second of the Three Races, as they evolved after gargoyles but before Oberon's Children. Goliath has commented that humans fear what they do not understand, an assertion that is corroborated by the mass reaction of the population of Manhattan towards gargoyles in "Nightwatch".

Humans probably invented both language and naming, both of which are somewhat addictive among sentient species. Goliath in particular was named by the human Prince Malcolm, and other members of the Manhattan Clan (such as Hudson) only took names for themselves once Elisa Maza had insisted that "things need names". Other gargoyle clans known to use names for their members (such as the London and Ishimura Clans) have traditionally had strong ties to the local human populations.
