Gargoyles, the 1990s Disney animated series with a devoted cult following, made its Disney Lorcana debut in the Whispers in the Well set. It was one of two franchises to join the game for the first time in that release, alongside The Black Cauldron.
For longtime Gargoyles fans, seeing Goliath's clan rendered in Lorcana's art style was a genuine surprise, since the show hadn't had major new merchandise in years before this. Ravensburger treated the collaboration seriously, working closely with the design team to capture the show's darker, more mature tone.
This guide covers which Gargoyles characters actually appear in the set and what makes their debut worth knowing about even now, a year after release.
If you're a Gargoyles fan who missed this set the first time around, here's what to look for.
Demona is one of the standout Gargoyles cards in the set, and Ravensburger even released a short documentary showing how the card came together across its Game Design, Art, and Narrative teams. That level of behind-the-scenes attention signaled the collaboration was treated as a genuine crossover event, not a token inclusion.
Her card captures the character's antagonistic role in the show, distinct from the more heroic framing given to Goliath. Fans of the series have pointed to Demona's card as one of the more faithful adaptations in the whole set.
Goliath, the show's central protagonist, appears as Clan Leader, reflecting his role heading the Manhattan clan in the original series. His inclusion anchors the Gargoyles cards in the set the same way a franchise's most recognizable character usually does in a Lorcana debut.
Clan Leader cards in Lorcana typically carry abilities that support a broader team of characters, and Goliath's design follows that pattern in keeping with his role in the show. For collectors building a Gargoyles-themed deck, Goliath is usually the natural centerpiece.
Elisa Maza appears as Intrepid Investigator, tying her into the set's broader detective and mystery theme. Bronx - Ferocious Beast and Brooklyn - Second in Command round out the confirmed Gargoyles cards from the set, giving the clan a real presence rather than a single spotlight card.
Including the clan's supporting characters, not just its two leads, gave the debut more depth than a lot of one-off franchise crossovers get. That breadth is part of why the set felt like a genuine Gargoyles debut rather than a cameo appearance.
Gargoyles hadn't had a major trading card presence before Lorcana, making Whispers in the Well a genuine first for the franchise in this format. That novelty has kept demand for the clan's cards steady even as the set has aged.
For Lorcana collectors without much Gargoyles background, the cards are still worth knowing simply because of how distinct their darker tone is from most of the game's roster. It's one of the more unusual franchise pairings the game has done to date.
Because the set released almost a year ago, Gargoyles singles are readily available on the secondary market rather than locked behind a fresh product launch. That makes now a practical time to pick up specific characters without competing against opening-week demand.
Checking a card's current rarity and condition before buying loose helps avoid overpaying for a common print mistaken for something rarer. Sleeving cards immediately after purchase is worth doing regardless of the card's rarity, especially for a crossover this collectible.
Gargoyles' successful debut in Whispers in the Well showed Ravensburger is willing to reach into Disney's deeper catalog rather than sticking only to its most famous franchises. That precedent is worth watching for collectors curious about what else might eventually show up in Lorcana.
Whether Gargoyles gets further Lorcana support beyond this one set hasn't been covered here, so treat Whispers in the Well as the clan's confirmed debut for now. Following official Lorcana announcements is the most reliable way to catch any future expansion of the franchise's card pool.

Gargoyles brought a genuinely different tone to Disney Lorcana, and its Whispers in the Well debut is still the only place to find Goliath's clan in the game.
