Gorgons

Gorgons are monstrous beings with hair made of slithering snakes and the ability to kill with only a glance.

Physical Features
Gorgons look similar to land naga, with the upper bodies of humans and the lower bodies of snakes. Their entire bodies are covered in deep green scales and instead of hair, they have a nest of venomous serpents. They have the faces of hideous hags with large chins and hooked noses. They have bright, fiery, golden eyes.

Powers and Abilities

 * Snake physiology: Like the naga, gorgons are half human an half snake and thus, they have the abilities of both species.
 * Limited underwater breathing: As cold-blooded beings, gorgons can hold their breath for an extended period of time.
 * Serpent hair: A gorgon's hair is made up of living breathing snakes. It is unknown if, like in mythology, these snakes can petrify with their own eyes.
 * Fangs: Behind a gorgon's lips and in the mouths of her snakes are sharp fangs. Like the naga, these fangs can deliver a painful bite. It is unknown if, like the gorgons of Old Earth mythology, these snakes have venom.
 * Coils: Due to their size, gorgon coils are long enough to ensnare others and possibly strangle them.
 * Enhanced senses: Their snake nature may grant them slightly enhanced senses.
 * Petrifying gaze: A gorgon's most famous ability is her ability to turn all who gaze upon her face to stone. The victim's flesh, blood, everything is turned into a stone statue. Their gaze is so powerful that sometimes the petrified victim cracks and crumbles into rubble. However, if a gorgon sees her reflection, she will turn into solid stone. The gorgon's magic can only be reversed by the rebirth of a phoenix and only if the victim's petrified state is intact. A shattered statue cannot be restored to flesh and blood.
