A carved grotesque  mounted on the buttress of a C15 church tower. It looks ferocious and it has wings, possibly a dragon.

Strange winged beast.

A shot of a gargoyle on top of Notre Dame, in Paris, France, with the city and the Eiffel Tower visible in the background under a cloudy bright sky.

Ballpoint pen sketch of a capon grotesque posing in the typical "proud" pose of his category, the one in which they (metaphorically) bring the world on their shoulders.

The 'ooh I've finished' to 'hmm, I'm not doing anything with my hands' to 'project!' loop is particularly small sometimes

A pencil drawing of an androgynous, vaguely-steampunk-styled, thin gnome sitting on top of a building, the angle dramatic as they look down in delight at a Griffin-shaped grotesque on the building’s corner. The background has been shaded in, except for the shape of large faerie wings at the gnome’s back.

This collection of rather weird and wonderful sculpted heads are carved onto the corbels of decorative arches over the entrances to a series of tenement closes on Killearn Street in the Possilpark area of Glasgow.

Another of the unusual grotesques on Saint Mary's Episcopal Cathedral on Great Western Road in Glasgow. I'm fairly sure this one is relatively modern.

I don't know if they're original or if they were added as part of relatively recent refurbishments, but there's a very similar grotesque on the main buildings of Glasgow University which were also designed by Gilbert Scott around the same time.
