Thessalgorgons were one of the four known thessalmonsters, a species of crossbred hybrid creatures. A thessalgorgon was the result of crossbreeding a thessalhydra and a gorgon.[2]

Description[]

A thessalgorgon had a large, reptilian body covered in strong scales. It had a long tail that ended in a pair of large, sharp pincers. Its head was that of a bull, surrounded by a ring of eight hydra-like heads. The upper half of its body was covered in hair.[2]

Abilities[]

Thessalgorgons had a natural immunity to all known acids, as well as petrification effects and spells. It had a devastating breath weapon: a cloud of petrifying gas up to 60 feet (18 meters) in length. If one of its heads was severed, it grew back over a twelve-day period.[2]

Combat[]

Each of the serpentine heads acted independently and injected a poison with each bite.[2]

Ecology[]

Thessalgorgons were carnivores and made their lair in caves deep within the wild.[2]

Habitats[]

Some thessalgorgons were known to be found in the land of Chult.[3]

Usage[]

Juvenile thessalgorgons were sometimes used as guards. Thessalgorgon eggs were worth up to 7,000 gp and a live juvenile up to 10,000 gp.[2]
