Gargoyle Boots (NWN)

Legends holds that the mage who created the Gargoyle Boots trapped the spirit of an actual gargoyle within them. Unfortunately, the boots couldn't protect the nameless wizard from the vengeance of the gargoyle's mate. As there are multiple variations on the Gargoyle Boots, it is assumed that the tale is, though entertaining, a mere fabrication - an interesting way to explain the magical toughness that the boots provide.
