Obviously they hatch from eggs. Or maybe they're not born with metal plates and the plates just grow in as they approach adulthood- not like we have stats for baby gorgons.
But in any case how would they grow iron.
You're talking about a creature that can exhale a cloud that instantly transmutes living tissue, clothing, and metal tools into granite and the fact that they grow metallic plates is throwing you off?

"Canon" is what's factual to D&D lore. "Cannon" is what you're going to be shot with if you keep getting the word wrong.

clearly i need to check their stats again
Do you think the two abilities are linked? stone iron? Maybe?
A DM did the maths and determined that, while they did no damage, 20 million living trees could best Tiamat through exhaustion levels... which assumes exhaustion applies to her, but it was an interesting video dissertation of why 20 million living trees are more dangerous than Tiamat.🤣

That assumes that Tiamat simply stands there and fights them instead spending a few hours obliterating them with her breath weapons from the air, then taking advantage of the fact that she's got a flight speed of 120 vs their ground speed of IIRC 20, allowing her to easily get away, rest, and return to have another go at them. Rinse and repeat as needed.

@crocodiledeathspeed1 Gorgons are Native to the Elemental Plane of Earth. That’s how they grow iron plates. And good point! Giants did battle dragons thousands of years ago and survive.
that would make sense but then wouldn't they be elementals
No. Not every creature from the Elemental Planes is an Elemental.
but you said native plan so i think that would mean their an elemental which they are not
Hmm. I heard somewhere that Gorgons were native to Elemental Earth. Maybe they changed that in 5e.
5e lists Gorgons' habitat as forests, grasslands, and hills. I guess kinda like wild cows? ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

I think Treants could probably much cooler. They could probably make them like how they have dragons, like with different sizes.

I don't think I've ever seen Gorgons listed as being native to the Elemental Plane of Earth in any edition. Certainly they weren't in 2nd or 3rd.
