Gorgon
Gorgons - sometimes referred to as medusae - are nyxborn humanoids created by the God Pharika as one of her earliest experiments. They are characterised by serpentine lower bodies and hair made of snakes or snakelike tendrils.
Some of Pharika's first creations, the Pharika's Spawn, were considered by her to be too dangerous for her to control. As a result they were banished to the Underworld, and are now used by Erebos to keep souls where they belong.
The gorgons that populate Theros are much more civilised and less dangerous, but they are rarely seen, preferring to hide away in solitude in caves, swamps, ruined cities and small, isolated communities.
