Medusae were monstrous beings with bodies that are covered in scales and rather than hair, they had a writhing mass of serpents growing from their scalp.[3]
Abilities
The eyes of a medusa were feared, because to look in their eyes was to invite death. A female's gaze would instantly transform living flesh into lifeless stone, while a male's gaze would daze and weaken.[2]
Society
Medusae prefered to live alone in small groups, but they desired treasures and dominance over other races most of all.[9]
