I was thinking there could be a Gargoyle race that could be sort of like the Pandaren, allowing the option to join either faction. This race could have a 'Stone Form' racial ability that would be sort of like the mage 'Ice Block' ability, where they would instantly turn into stone, be immune to all damage, be cured of all magic effects, curses, and diseases, and maybe even regenerate health and energy/mana/focus at a higher rate. They could also have wings that would allow them to take flight without a mount sort of like the druid flight form ability (but without the need for shapeshifting), that could also double as a mount to the extent that they would simply hover off the ground and travel at mounted speed when not able to fly (or they could have an ability similar to Worgen's 'Running Wild'). They could also have a racial talent that allows them to turn to stone until cancelled that is only available outside of combat (and if activated before combat, while a battle is happening nearby), and while in this state, they would be immune to all damage, and perhaps even not able to be targeted so they appear as part of the environment. Just thought I'd share.

Thanks for reading!
