You could also see a Gargoyle postie or detective (as they are often employed by House Tharashk), so a suspicious-looking statue might be doing the work of the law. Of course, if you're in Sharn, they might just be civilians. They could also be bodyguards for an ambassador from Droamm, likely a medusa, and may not even approve of Daask's methods, but I say that based on the fact that they generally live among the medusae and show loyalty to Droamm, not because I'm aware of any distinct examples. Bear in mind that they can fly and you are probably fighting them from a thousand-foot-high bridge, so make sure to stay away from the edge. If they're in Sharn, they're likely doing so as part of the criminal organisation Daask, and using their False Appearance trait and power of flight to full effect in the vertical city. They're pretty likely to be Agents of Droaam in the employ of the Daughters of Sora Kell, so mess with them at your own risk. Without Alignment, here are some ideas of their motives: Entirely unasked for information, I know, but I enjoy this stuff. Additionally, on Eberron I would suggest a History check instead of RickAJr's suggested Religion check, because they're more part of the political landscape of the world than the religious one (with the weird exception of Wingwyrds).

I should note that this isn't true on Eberron, where their origin is disputed (there's no Plane of Earth for starters) and they, as mortal Elemental creatures, have no set alignment (though are likely to be aligned with 'monstrous' factions). They're inspired by real world history, but in D&D lore they're instilled with hatred even before their form finalizes on the elemental plane of Earth.
