These ill-tempered beasts greet interlopers with a charge or trample accompanied with belches of petrifying breath. Gorgons are dangerous on their own, and when they band together in herds, they become especially deadly. Gorgons typically subsist on petrified flesh or fossils. These supernatural beasts can gain sustenance from natural stone if they must, though they find raw stone flavorless, so it''s not a preferred food source. In battle, gorgons use their petrifying breath to turn their prey into stone. They break up the resulting statues with their hooves or horns and swallow the stony chunks with loud chewing bites. Gorgons cannot digest unpetrified organic material, and if they try, they experience sickness and great gastrointestinal peril. Such discomforts are not life threatening to gorgons, but they do make the creatures even more ill tempered than usual—much to the chagrin of anyone they subsequently encounter. Gorgon flesh tastes vaguely like beef, but with a gritty, earthy texture and aftertaste that most meat connoisseurs find off-putting. Creatures with a close association to earth and stone are more likely to find the flavor appetizing; stone giants in particular consider gorgon steaks to be delicacies. Some cultures, notably dwarven cultures, consider the preparation of gorgon for meals as both a physical and a culinary challenge. Chefs who work with gorgon flesh can find renown for their skill in creating palatable dishes from such naturally unpalatable meat. **__Recall Knowledge - Beast__ (__Arcana__, __Nature__)**: DC 26' hp: 135 hp_misc: null immunities: - petrification level: 8 melee_attacks: - action_cost: One Action damage: formula: 2d12+10 type: piercing name: horn plus_damage: null to_hit: 20 traits: null - action_cost: One Action damage: formula: 2d6+10 type: bludgeoning name: hoof plus_damage: null to_hit: 18 traits: null name: Gorgon perception: 19 ranged_attacks: null rarity: Uncommon saves: fort: 18 fort_misc: null misc: null ref: 13 ref_misc: null will: 17 will_misc: null senses: - darkvision - scent (imprecise) 30 feet size: Large skills: - bonus: 19 misc: null name: Athletics sources: - abbr: Bestiary 2 page_start: '132' page_stop: null speed: - amount: 25 misc: null type: Land spell_lists: null traits: - Beast
