The stories did not do her justice. Her beauty is more terrible, and her ugliness could not be more awe inspiring. One strange truth of the tales you were told grounds you as you struggle to look away from her glittering eyes. She has a nest of serpents sprouting from her head instead of hair, each a hissing monster with eyes and fangs of its own.Taunt from a Medusa about an Attractive Party Member
“Well, aren’t you a sight to behold! I know one so handsome would never spare a passing glance to someone like me, but soon we’ll have a whole eternity to get to know each other. If you could strike a pose that shows off those glistening biceps just before the end, I would appreciate it.”BATTLE HIGHLIGHTS
