Homebrew Gorgon Species Details

Gorgons occupy a small downtrodden subset of the massive undercity conglomeration that is the Golgari society. Reclusive and often persecuted due to their ability to petrify people and frightening appearance. Gorgons resemble green-scaled humanoid females. In place of hair, a gorgon has a writhing mass of black, serpentine cables, and its hands are scaly claws. The gaze of a gorgon's glowing eyes causes living tissue to petrify. The transformation is rapid, leaving the victim as a stone statue, usually frozen in a position of abject fear or agony- a fine trophy for the gorgon's macabre collection.The gorgon must exert its will to effect this transformation, so the gaze of a surprised or friendly Ravnican gorgon is harmless.

Names often contain snakeish inflections in an attempt to play off their apperiance: Bossan, Fressdia, Svara...
