The cheeky animatronic gargoyle is a nod to the wild conspiracy theories about the airport over the years and welcomes passengers to “Illuminati headquarters, I mean Denver International Airport,” the statue quips.

The airport said the gargoyle is there "to clear the air on all the conspiracies at DEN," according to the Denver Channel.
