Most of the time, higher tier monsters have all the abilities of preceding tiers, with increased intensity.
Gorgo Traits by Tier
All Tiers
Like Devilites, Gorgos are bloated, winged, imp-like monsters. They bounce and hover about until an unfortunate knight crosses their sight, for then they lunge into a feeding frenzy!
Gorgos have the ability to chomp one, two or three times in a row depending on the Tier. They move faster in deeper levels and inflict split shadow damage and normal damage after Tier 1.
Moves more frequently in deeper Tiers. Can chomp once more for every Tier.
Strategy
Guide: Gorgo Combat
Do not underestimate Gorgos! They move faster in each successively deeper Tier and can be really dangerous in open rooms accompanied by Silkwings. A good strategy is to use the stunning shield bash ability first and attack with weapons like Final Flourish or Barbarous Thorn Blade after. The charge of the Blitz Needle can be a good option in small corridors too. Dark Briar Barrage is an easy way to interrupt and damage multiple gorgos. Dash away from Gorgos if they are about to attack as each chomp can deal an extreme amount of damage to your shield; about 2 chomps will break your shield.

Notes
Lazy Devilites turn into Gorgos, as the release 2013-05-01 patch states, "For those that don't work hard every day will eventually become a terrible Gorgo".
Although Gorgos are related to Devilites, they use attacking and death animations identical to that of Kats.
A blue, bloated, winged imp with a seemingly endless appetite.

Combat
Chomp

Loot is dropped when the monster is defeated. The loot that drops is random. Sometimes loot isn't dropped at all. This list is simply a pool of possible loot.
In addition to its regular drops, this monster can randomly drop (a number of...0-???) glyphs, in (any depth...???) during a March of the Tortodrones event.
More glyphs tend to drop in deeper depths on higher difficulty (???- data proof needed).
Dropped glyphs are a random combination of the following:
