Gargoyle (ガーゴイル Gāgoiru) is the first boss from Thunder Force III. Unlike most bosses in the Thunder Force Series, it is an organic entity rather than a mechanical one (although it does have mechanical properties and features).
Details[]
Gargoyle is depicted as a bipedal, reptilian cyborg that namely uses fire breathing and shooting fireballs as a form of attacks, all the while walking and jumping back and forth. Its weak spot is the stomach which is indicated by a flashing orb on its lower torso.
