Medusa, also called Gorgo, was one of the three monstrous Gorgons, generally described as human females with living venomous snakes in place of hair. Those who gazed into her eyes would turn to stone. Medusa was a highpriestess of Athena, but was cursed to be a gorgon by Athena after Poseidon assaulted her. As such, she is resentful and wary of everyone, cursing all who trespass in her domain to stone. She can morph between having regular human legs or having the lower body of a huge snake.
