Goliath from a Twitter request. Gargoyles was such a cool show. I’m thinking it would be fun to draw more from it sometime.
1990s animated series Gargoyles is getting the ultimate action figure treatment from NECA. Goliath - the clan’s leader, voiced by Keith David - will fly into stores in July.
Standing 8” tall and features at 16” wingspan, the toy is fully articulated, including wings and tail. It comes with interchangeable heads and hands as well as book and pepper accessories.
I keep thinking about a situation where Goliath has to carry Xanatos and them both being disgruntled about it. Goliath would probably carry him by his foot, let him dangle a few thousand feet in the air out of spite, but he'd preferably carry him by his throat.
In one case I can see Xanatos milking the experience for all it's worth, constantly trying to get under Goliath's skin to see how far he can push him under the circumstances.
"Don't you think that's a bit dangerous, dear"
"If he drops me, I win. And Goliath knows that"
"So, Goliath work out often?"
"I will drop you."
"And here I thought we kissed and made up"
"I will make sure you fall on your head"
"Ill probably be dead before I hit the asphalt"
"A pity."
Fox and Elisa find the scene freaking hilarious, though Elisa does try to talk Goliath into dropping the smug bastard; just to give him a little scare.
"Milk"
Summary: Milk is a symbol of fertility, once thought of as the food of the gods and a nurturer, the lifeblood and lifeline that connects mother to child. And child to mother.

Canon-Divergence/Canon-Complaint/Post-Canon/Non-linear Narrative
Reality is stranger than fiction, they say, and he was inclined to agree. Life was indeed filled with one oddity after another.
He remembers a story from his youth.
A story, that was ancient he was told, passed from the old to young about a Clan Leader of their own who had taken a human as a mate.
They had a child-who they called, the meaning of an end in the old language. Someone who should never have been-
An abomination-
The child was cursed. And because of it, she cursed the land. Cursed her clan that lamented her existence, cursed the humans who condemned her, and cursed her parents who had birthed her into a world that knew only hate and fear.
They called her- Hillevi.
Goliath never took the story seriously; he knew the ploy by then. The line drawn in the sand, humans stayed on one side and they stayed on the other, they were never supposed to cross it.
Well, he had never been one for superstitions.
