Staghart

Staghart is a male gargoyle of the London Clan. He prefers to be known as Amp, although currently only Lexington uses the name.

History

Staghart and his rookery sibling, including Constance, hatched at Knight's Spur in 1958.

In late 1996, they accompanied King Arthur and Sir Griff to Westminster Abbey in London to stand vigil over the Stone of Destiny, where they encountered and befriended Hudson and Lexington. While there, they were attacked by Coldsteel, Coyote 5.0, and Steel Clan and Iron Clan robots.

Staghart and Constance are best friends, but not mates. He and Lexington have grown to be fast friends. They each saved the other's life while being attacked by Coyote 5.0. ("Rock & Roll")

Characteristics

Staghart strongly resembles a white bipedal stag with white feathered wings and cleft hooves in place of taloned feet. He has a very short tail. Despite Staghart's majestic appearance, he seems to be more of a fun-loving, adventurous (even somewhat nerdy) sort. He prefers the nickname "Amp" although, according to Constance, few people use the name.

When asked whether he and Constance are mates, Staghart denied it vigorously, but with the equally firm assertion of her being a dear friend. When this is combined with the obvious mutual bond with Lexington, this suggests that Staghart may be homosexual and may possibly become a romantic interest to the Manhattan Clan gargoyle, who is set to realize that his own sexual orientation is the same.

Production background

In the original Gargoyles comedy development, Amp was the name given to Brooklyn's character, though he looked more like Lexington at the time.
