• Wyvern: A winged, two-footed dragon.

• Stryga: The most famous Notre Dame chimera, often referred to incorrectly as the "Spitting Gargoyle." It faced the Eiffel Tower.

• Gargoyles: On the other hand, gargoyles are carved drain spouts designed to carry rainwater away from a building to protect the masonry from water damage. They adorned the cathedral for more than 600 years.5 Ornate carvings of creatures with water coming out of their mouths are examples (see photo). As architectural elements, gargoyles serve a functional purpose, whereas chimeras are merely decorative.

• Grotesques: The generic term for such stone carvings, regardless of whether they carry water.
