Gargoyle geckos are also commonly known as the Knob-headed Giant Gecko and the New Caledonia Bumpy Gecko. These common names are in reference to the two small bumps on their heads which look like horns or ears. The Gargoyle Gecko’s scientific name is in reference of these two cranial bumps – auriculatus means eared in Latin. Gargoyle geckos are a medium-sized gecko with thick  bodies and prehensile tail. They have a TBL of approx 17-25 cms, with about 7 cms of that being tail length.
