gargoyle's

Cathedral creature's possession

Gargoyle's is the possessive form of gargoyle—a grotesque carved figure, typically on buildings, designed to channel rainwater away from walls.

The word extends to anyone with ugly or distorted features.

The gargoyle's open mouth directed rain clear of the cathedral walls.

From the gargoyle's perch, the whole city was visible.
