Gargoyles spiritually symbolize dual roles: they are fierce protectors warding off evil spirits from sacred spaces, but also serve as visual warnings of sin, temptation, and the monstrous aspects of humanity, representing damned souls or the devil's influence outside the church's safety. Rooted in pre-Christian drainage spouts, their scary forms became metaphors for spiritual danger, reminding people to stay within faith's light, though modern views often see them as fantastical guardians or gothic decoration.
