I already have so many questions about this character, but the biggest one is whether the Gargoyle King is actually a person or not. The creature appears to have branches sticking out of its back, which makes me think that it might be a makeshift statue as opposed to a living, breathing thing. Plus, Riverdale hasn't ventured too far into the supernatural (save for season 2's "Tales From the Darkside," in which K.J. Apa's Archie saw the ghost of a deer), which makes me think that this Gargoyle King might not be exactly as it appears.
