*This article uses material from the “Deuce Gorgon” article on the Monster High Wiki at FANDOM is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike License.*

**Deuce Gorgon** is a characterfrom the *Monster High* franchise.

Son of Medusa, and co-captain of the casketball team with Clawd Wolf. In a sometimes tumultuous but still strong relationship with Cleo De Nile, and they occupy the spot of the school's premier power couple.

In the AWA fics, Deuce is a student at the AWA Academy.

## **Appearance**

Deuce is tall, handsome and muscular, with green eyes that can turn people to stone (at least for a few hours) which is why he wears sunglasses. His scalp hair is actually scaly and green, and on top of his head are, depending on medium, six to nine snakes, forming a Mohawk (or a "snake-hawk", as Deuce calls it). He also has green scales on his bicep, though it's unclear if it is part of his natural skin or an added tattoo.

## **Personality**

Among his peers, Deuce Gorgon is widely regarded as friendly and outgoing. He is consistently very welcoming of newcomers, being friendly toward Frankie during her first days at school, and inviting Jackson Jekyll to sit with him and Heath at lunch on his first day at school, despite the boy's outcast status among the other monsters. These traits, combined with his confidence and easy-going nature, make Deuce one of the most popular monsters around Monster High. Additionally, Deuce loves sports and is one of the captains of the casketball team. He also loves cooking, but he tries to keep it a secret. He is very loyal to his girlfriend Cleo de Nile and tolerates a lot of her bad behavior with patience and grace, showing himself to care deeply about her and doing all he can to make her happy. Because of his mother's affinity for ancient art, Deuce himself also has an affinity for sculpting.

## **Abilities**

He has the same power as any gorgon:

* **Stone Stare:** Being a gorgon, Deuce has the ability to turn anyone to stone with just his eyes. This comes with many advantages.
* **Snakes For Hair:** Having a set of serpentines on his head makes him have the need to wear hats to cover up as in disguise as a human in the *Monster High* books by Lisi Harrison.

### **Skillset**

* **Cooking:** Being an excellent chef, most likely for having competitions with his aunt, Euryale, he is one of the best cooking skills character at the school of Monster High. He even prepares his own creation, Greek Monster Fusion, which is his favorite food. It is unknown what this fusion contains,of what it is made with, because his doll profile and website profile never really say. But unlike his aunt, he lacks confidence with his chef skills and he seems to be embarrassed to show off his abilities in public. He is also so good that his food is literally the only food Kindergrubber will eat without question.
* **Athleticism:** Just like Clawd Wolf, he is very athletic, and extremely skilled in casketball in the regular *Monster High* series, but basketball in the Lisi Harrison books. This causes him to be co-captains with Clawd, whose (both) skills are an even match.

## **Trivia**

* Deuce was cited as the casketball team captain in the *Higher Deaducation* ad, a role which was filled by Clawd Wolf in the cartoon. The *Gory Gazette* revealed that they are co-captains in Spiking Trends in Student New Year Resolutions.
* Deuce's style is based on punk and skater fashion.
* His birthday is March 5 and his zodiac sign is Pisces.
* Deuce and Hunter Huntsman from *Ever After High* have the exact same "Star Sign" due to sharing the same birth month, indecating how and why they are so similar personality-wise. Along with his, the two are both non-regal, non-royal "commoners" (derogatorily "peasants") in love with and dating princesses.
