Some lamia have medusa blood running in their veins, and can embrace the devastating abilities of this heritage. Many, though not all, have snakes as hair which they can use to bite with instead. You deal an extra 1d6 poison damage to a creature whenever you hit it with your bite attack. You can use your action to force a creature within 30 feet that can see your eyes to make a DC 10 Constitution saving throw. On a failure, the creature is paralyzed until the end of its next turn.
You can use your bonus action to force a creature that failed this saving throw within the past minute to repeat this saving throw with disadvantage. Each time it fails, it is paralyzed again until the end of its next turn. When a creature is paralyzed in this way for the third time in a span of 1 minute, it is instantly petrified.
As an action, you can end the petrified condition on a creature that you can see and that you petrified yourself. Starting at 10th level, the DC for this saving throw increases to 12. At 15th level, the DC increases to 14. At 20th level, the DC increases to 16.
