The terrible chthonic creature that turns all who observe it directly into stone distorts through the Other Side in an even more cruel and horrifying manifestation.
Paranormal Order RPG: Surviving the Horror
The Medusa[1] is a Knowledge creature with complement of Death, being the incarnation distorted by the Other Side of the Greek myth of the Gorgon that transforms all who look directly at her face into stone. It is a centuries-old creature and possesses a vast accumulated knowledge in its mind.
Appearance[]
The Medusa has a large serpentine and skeletal dark body, like a shadow, possessing long arms and fingers. When bathed in darkness, only a creeping silhouette with its only eye that penetrates the core of those who look directly into its face can be seen.
Behaviour[]
The Medusa is a territorial creature, in a certain way, who lives in ruins of temples and cares only to be consumed, devoured and appreciated by any look of those who fell into the temptation to observe the horrendous beauty of the Other Side on its face. Whoever looks directly at Medusa does not turn to stone, but is stopped in time eternally and becomes another part of the collection of statues that "worship" and appreciate the chtonic creature in its temple molded to worship itself.
The Medusa is tempting, knows how to communicate as a human and also knows how to say words that hurt the soul and disturb the mind, but also attract its victims to appreciate its beauty.
Trivia[]
- This is a creature based on the real legend of Medusa itself.
- In the early concept arts, Medusa would have shadows coming out of its skull, but this idea was discarded.[2]
