Medusas are monstrous beings with bodies that are covered in scales and rather than hair, they have a writhing mass of serpents growing from their scalp.
Abilities
The eyes of a Medusa are feared, because to look in their eyes is to invite death, a females gaze will instantly transformed into lifeless stone, while a males will daze and weaken you.[1]
Society
Medusas prefer to live alone in small groups, but they desire treasures and dominance over other races most of all.[2]
Ecology
All medusae are female. They will interact with a male humanoid when they desire to mate and give birth. The medusa is careful to not slay her lover… at least, not until after she has conceived.[citation needed]
