Soul Gargoyle
The Soul Gargoyle is an item which grants access to Merasmissions, and allows players to use the Halloween Transmute feature. The Soul Gargoyle was initially available during the Scream Fortress 2015 event, and returned during Scream Fortress 2016. All players logging in to Team Fortress 2 during these events receive a Soul Gargoyle.
Ranks
Similar to Strange Weapons, the Soul Gargoyle has a variety of rankings. The rankings increase as players collect "souls" by killing (or assisting in killing) other players during the event, or by completing various map objectives. Players can also gain souls by collecting a "Soul Gargoyle" that randomly appears in maps during the event.
