"Resembling the creatures on European cathedrals, the airport’s gargoyles are protecting travelers from lost luggage . . .", a little humor is often needed with the increasingly challenging air travel regulations. These two fellows are found on the baggage level at #3 and #16 (facing either east or west). The gargoyles add to Denver International Airport's reputation of having rather unusual art throughout the terminal.
