Gorgon
Possessing poisonous snakes in place of hair, a terrible gaze which petrifies all who meet its gaze, and an aptitude for manipulation; gorgons are the most powerful of all stonecursed. They are even capable of turning reptiles and dinosaurs into basilisks and cockatrices.
Shunned by all, gorgons often take up residence among crumbling grandeur, adorning their abode (as well as themselves) with luxury items cast off by others.
A gorgon's disdain for reflective surfaces comes not from its vulnerability to its own gaze, as many believe, but the fact that it finds its visage the most grotesque, horrifying, and repulsive thing real or imagined.
