Crocodile gargoyle, photo from: Castle of Pierrefonds, Picardie

Architect Viollet le Duc apparently loved this kind of decoration. He used them extensively on Notre Dame and added a large number of them in Pierrefonds. These crocodile shaped gargoyles are actually larger than a person standing and found in the interior courtyard.
