Medusi
The Medusi are a race of humanoid-looking creatures with the blood of a medusa within their veins, their appearance can be in the form of any race depending on their environment examples are human or kenku races. The difference between them though is that the Medusi's hair is sentient alive snakes. The power of a medusa doesn't come about until later in the person's life, but once it does it can cause a lot of destruction due to its power of turning flesh into stone.
