Either there's no 3rd/3.5/d20 info on these things or my google-foo is poor.


Variants

Margoyle
Even more vicious than normal gargoyles, margoyles preferred living underground and were sometimes found leading a group of normal gargoyles. Their skin was much harder and they were more difficult to spot against stone.

Grist
Also known as greater gargoyles or true gargoyles, grists resembled constructs more than they did magical beasts. They were created by casting wish, stone shape, polymorph any object, fly and geas/quest on a statue resembling a gargoyle. Grists were only semi-intelligent and could only understand simple instructions, though they would follow these instructions to the letter. The spells used to create them make them incredibly resistant to damage and unlike their less magical kin, it was impossible to determine whether they were alive or not without magical aid. Their ability to fly came from the magic used to create them, but their wings improved their maneuverability in the air. They had no vocal cords so they could not speak, they could not reproduce their species, and they could not grow, remaining at the same height throughout their lives. They occasionally ate gemstones and coins that they found on their opponents' bodies but, like other gargoyles, they did not need to eat.

The margoyle weren't converted in d&d 3.5 but i found them on d20pfsrd if you search margoyle you should found them, they could be converted in 3.5 stat , if i remember well pathfinder rules. as for the grist i did not found them so maybe the only way is to converte them from 2e using conversion handbook to 3.0 and then using the conversion from 3.0 to 3.5

There are, obviously, nothing official, but Margoyle was converted to 3.0 in the Tome of Horrors, and 3.5 - in the Tome of Horrors, Revised

Also, homebrew conversions for Margoyle (https://web.archive.org/web/20041107181753/http://www.enworld.org/cc/converted/magical_beast/margoyle.htm), and Grist (https://web.archive.org/web/20120929222831/http://creaturecatalog.enworld.org/cc/converted/view_c.php?CreatureID=1106) (also, two more variants - 1 (https://www.enworld.org/threads/paging-echohawk.212777/page-2#post-4052234) and 2 (https://www.enworld.org/threads/creature-catalog-new-3-5-conversions.66577/page-15#post-4100996) - I don't know if they different or not)
