** They did. Owen upgraded the Steel Clan with some iron which was able to damage Oberon and Petros Xanatos managed to get a pretty good hit on him with an iron harpoon. The problem is, Oberon is far stronger than most of the Third Race, so they would need a "lot" of iron to put him down. As for why they didn't use another iron bell, well Owen and Xanatos didn't know about it, and Goliath didn't have the time to get another one. WordOfGod also says that even Oberon isn't so arrogant enough that he wouldn't have come up a contingency plan if somebody else tried to use an iron bell on him in the future.

****I agree completely. That Gargoyles could develop as a species without names is entirely believable for me. That's why what I don't like about it is that this is seemingly not the case for the global gargoyles. It feels like it's only the Scottish clan who inexplicably lack names. And I don't really think "they interact with humans" is a decent excuse since Gargoyles have been interacting with humans since the dawn of time. We first see them in the show interacting with humans, yet it's clear that Goliath is a name bestowed purely for the human's convenience and not that of the Gargoyles. Yet whenever they go to any other country (or even just a few thousand kilometers south in the London case) suddenly it's "My name is X". Obviously it's because the writers want the characters to have names and it's just awkward and contrived to write around them not having a name, but that's the commitment they made when they had this as a specific aspect of the Xenofiction they were writing.

* Presuming the "death" was always intended, it makes more sense for Sevarius to look disguised temporarily when Derek meets him, then take off the make-up afterward so he looks normal. It's easier than the other way around -- looking normal at first, then having to wear a disguise constantly. It's like how they cast young actors for Marty's parents in ''Film/BackToTheFuture'': Have them in aged make-up for the handful of minutes they're onscreen in 1985, then just let them look natural for the 1955 scenes that make up the bulk of the movie.

Except Xanatos has no means of knowing this[[note]]unless there's another TimeTravel in a later episode, I have not yet watched the series all the way[[/note]]. He gave two items to the Illuminati that they should deliver to him: first the coin when he's a young man, and second the letter that describes the plan to ensure the StableTimeLoop. Had Goliath chosen not to return Xanatos to the present, the timeline would have remained largely the same: the Illuminati would have still delivered all items to Xanatos. Unless Xanatos assumes that, had he remained in the past, the history books would have kept the record of a genius mastermind in 10th Century Scotland...

Sevarius's theory is that gargoyles sustain their extremely powerful bodies by absorbing and storing solar energy in petrified form. He says that, unfortunately, there is no animal that does that, and chooses electric eels as the second best option for his LegoGenetics experiment to create gargoyles. There are two issues with this: 1) electric eels do not store external energy but produce their own, so giving the mutants electrophores would actually make them require even more energy; and 2) there's a whole kingdom of organisms whose entire physiology is based on absorbing and storing solar energy: plants. Why didn't he consider using plant DNA? Or symbiotic algae like corals and lichens do?

** Gabriel is with Ophelia, who was hardly offscreen. And in addition to her two more female members(a purple one with horns on her cheekbones,and a turquoise one with white hair) were seen in background shots, so the Avalon Clan had four female on-screen members. Word of God specifically gives the numbers of the Avalon Clan as 16 female members (including Angela and Ophelia), 17 male members (including Gabriel), 1 male gargoyle beast and 2 female gargoyle beasts (including Boudicca), which is almost a 50:50 split, far from a "3:1" ratio.
