Gorgons are large bovine creatures, taking the like of a magical bull fully covered in metal scales. They are intelligent and very aggressive creatures who have the ability to exude magical green vapor from their mouths that petrifies all who inhale it.

They are unable to swim though stories say they turn to stone if fully emerged under water as a way to preserve their lives indefinitely, or at least until they somehow end up warmed and dried by sunlight that would ultimately bring them back to life.

While all Gorgons share great fear of rust monsters, they are extremely dangerous for other living creatures and the numerous gruesome stories have made their names heard and remembered, names like Mudo, Zylantos, Hulus, and Dyleus.

These vicious magical creatures look like a bull, one that is completely covered in metal scales, from horn to tail. Their aggressive nature and their natural abilities, such as petrifying someone with gas exuded from their mouth, make them fearless in front of almost anything and anyone apart from rust monsters before whom they flee immediately. Apart from younger males seeking a herd of their own they are rarely seen alone, and their natural behavior has similarities with that of the lion society and their way of life.They can digest a much wider variety of food but not metal or gems, and so their powderlike dung often has ore nuggets and crystals inside. Think of how the creature came to be, what separates it from others, how and why it is taking the path it’s on now, what could be its goals, and think of a name worthy of the extraordinary magical force they bring wherever they may go.
