A **Gorgon** is a humanoid monster with serpentine features.

## Powers and Abilities

**Absolute Ugliness:** The Gorgons are infinitely hideous, affecting even transcendent beings. Their ugliness is great enough to release an aura of disgust and filth, making not looking at them useless, inducing immense fear, nausea, and corruption to even the most indomitable of foes.

**Brass Mimicry:** The Gorgons are made up of or can transform their body completely into brass. The Gorgons transformed form can be anatomically identical to their normal form, aside from being made of brass, in which case it contains all organs and is somewhat vulnerable to attacks. Alternately, the Gorgons can transform into homogeneous matter, without any part of their form being more important than the other.

**Cursed Physiology:** As the result of a curse placed upon them, the Gorgons also possess enhanced/supernatural physical capabilities like strength, speed and/or other supernatural abilities.

**Female Fatele:** The Gorgons can use the powers and characteristics of a femme fatale archetype. The Gorgons of this archetype is an attractive woman skilled at seducing men, only to ultimately bring misfortune upon those men who become involved with her.

**Human Monster Physiology:** The Gorgons are human-monstrosities; a very dark and dangerous variant of humanity who has monstrous qualities, characteristics and physiologies with various, but very dangerous supernatural powers.

**Peak Human Combat:** The Gorgons, either innately or through training, possess mastery in combat greater than peak members of their species. Against other humans, they are extremely skilled, being able to outclass most opponents with or without the use of weapons, being able to take on multiple aggressors at once. The Gorgons usually possess knowledge that improves their overall fighting skills, specifically through training. They usually have vast knowledge on targeting vulnerable areas on another's body and how to execute it while in battle. In terms of defense, experts can easily counter most attacks with the bare hands, either by deflecting or parrying.

**Snake Physiology:** The Gorgons either are or can mimic/transform into snakes, gaining a plethora of special abilities, traits and attributes, such as scales that increase defensive capabilities, extremely dangerous venom, seismic senses and many physical capabilities.

**Super-Condition:** The Gorgons possess supernatural capabilities, attributes and aspects that are beyond what is naturally possible. With their condition alone, they can dwarf most beings in their respective universe, being virtually supreme in their existential aspects and attributes. With their superhuman physique, they can move buildings, run at the speed of light, survive nuclear explosions unscathed, and remain active for days to weeks untired. With their mind, they can amass knowledge and information about everything, allowing them to invent and create things beyond the grasps of regular humans. They can master languages and subjects in mere days or even hours too.
