In architecture, a grotesque, also known as a chimera, is a fantastical or mythical figure which is used for ornamental purposes.

In common parlance, they are referred to as gargoyles, although the strict architectural usage of that term refers to those features that also serve the purpose of a waterspout.

The word is derived from grotteschi, the Italian term for the Roman grottoes that contained such decorations and were found circa 1500.

They were revived as an ornamental feature in the Renaissance and became popular throughout Europe, being used most frequently in the decoration of frescoes.
