* Word of God says Gargoyles have a very weak form of something like telepathy that allowes them to instantly tell which Gargoyle is spoken about even if they are referred to with vague descriptions like "our brother" and things like that. During development a discarded character concept was that of gargoyle twin sisters (an impossibility by later canon) that were supposed to illustrate that concept by having a stronger form of telepathy between the two of them.

* I suspect part of the reason was that gliding is easier to animate than true flight. In-universe the explanation would be that true flight takes a lot of energy, more than Gargoyles could come up with even with the solar power they gather during their stone sleep. Plus their wingspans in comparison to their (usually very muscular) bodies don't seem large enough for true flight eithe (and Gargoyles like Lexington really do just have membranes, like flying squirrrels do)

* Some coincidences were being controlled. Sevarius said they had been allowing the mutate to escape for weeks in hope that the gargoyles would find one, which they did when Maggie escaped. Xanatos assumed the gargoyles would come to investigate the lab as a result, so he went to visit and brought Derek. Xanatos and Sevarius have their fake argument and Sevarius fires the mutagen dart at Derek(whom he was aiming at). Sevarius starts making his very real cure which will take 'awhile'. Then when Goliath and co. show up, the very real cure just happens to be done in time and then Sevarius intentional breaks it as soon as the gargoyles enter. And Goliath only threw Servaius into the tank because he grabbed his tail to save his 'creation'. As to how Servaius survived the eel tank...well nobody said those eels were real, did they?

According to Greg, in real history, Lu'''l'''ach ("Luach" was a typo that stuck around) was born during Gillecomgain and Gruoch's marriage. After Gillecomgain's death, Macbeth married Gruoch and adopted Lulach as his son and heir. However, there were rumors that Gruoch had been unfaithful to her first husband and that the real father was Macbeth, which would explain why he was willing to adopt him. [[https://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?qid=699]][[https://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?qid=3503]][[https://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?qid=7998]] A quick look at Wikipedia bears this out.\\
The way its presented in the series, it ''looks'' like Luach was conceived after Macbeth and Gruoch's marriage and Macbeth is portrayed as his biological father, and that's how the general audience is supposed to interpret it. But it's never actually ''stated'', and, according to Word of God, Luach was born during Gillecomgain and Gruoch's marriage and adopted later by Macbeth, just like in history. [[https://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?qid=3465]][[https://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?qid=9127]] Greg couldn't fit all the historical stuff in there (both because the epic "City of Stone" four-parter was already crowded enough and because he couldn't very well go and mention adultery in a kids' show) so he presented a simplified narrative that never actually contradicts the more complicated narrative that he considers canon.\\
So, in the end, Luach's parentage is deliberately ambiguous. [[https://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?qid=3464]] He ''could'' be Gillecomgain's legitimate son, or he could be Macbeth's illegitimate son from an affair he had with Gruoch during her and Gillecomgain's marriage, even though the show skipped all of this and presented a simplified illusion that Luach was conceived and born during Macbeth's and Gruoch's marriage with no reason to doubt that Macbeth was the father.\\
Two more things of note:\\
1. In the show, Macbeth and Gruoch are portrayed as marrying immediately after Gillecomgain's death. However, in real life there was always a mourning period before a widow was allowed to marry again, ''precisely'' to make it clear to everyone which husband fathered which child. Presumably, this was another implied simplification that was not actually canon.\\
2. Greg implies that Gillecomgain crushing Gruoch's rose in "City of Stone" Part Two is symbolic of him taking her virginity. [[https://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?qid=5904]][[https://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?qid=17989]] ''Ouch.''

Whenever a human who doesn't know the gargoyles see them they're immediate reaction is to either run in fear or attack them but what we know of human behavior I doubt most humans would even believe the gargoyle was a real creature. People have a tendency to rationalize things that go against what they think to be true and as far as most people know gargoyles are just statues and not living beings, if a modern person saw a living gargoyle their reaction won't be "Ahh monster!" it'll be "Why is that guy wearing a costume?"
