Ron: "You don't know where the other talking gargoyles are, do you?"
Gargoyle: "Haven't seen another gargoyle since the one on that plinth disappeared."
— The Lonely Male Gargoyle talks about his friend.[src]

This gargoyle used to sit on a plinth opposite the Lonely Male Gargoyle by the Viaduct at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Sometime in 1994, it was knocked off of its plinth and fell off the side of the castle, leaving the Lonely Male Gargoyle without a companion.

Presumably, this gargoyle also had the ability to talk, although this is not certain.

Behind the scenes[]

Hermione: "What happened to it?"
Gargoyle: "About a year ago some boy flew through here being chased by a dragon - it knocked my friend right over the edge."
Harry: "Er..."
— The Lonely Male Gargoyle reveals his friend's fate.[src]
