description: Monstrous humanoids that resemble humans with snakes instead of hair,
  medusas are best known for their petrifying gazes that—if lingered upon—can permanently
  transform mortals to stone. Medusas are shrewd and manipulative adversaries who
  collect and covet secrets, and who use threats and guile to exploit the fears of
  weaker creatures. A medusa may seek out powerful magic items, use divination magic
  to discover secret knowledge and unlock forbidden power, or infiltrate a society
  to beguile influential politicians. Their ability to worm their way into powerful
  organizations makes them natural leaders of criminal out  ts and thieves' guilds,
  and their interest in magical phenomena leads some to pursue careers as oracles
  who offer to help adventurers find what they seek—for a price. Of course, if wit
  and deception proves insufficient, a medusa can always simply turn rivals into ornate
  stone decorations with little more than a glare.

  description: The medusa fixes their glare at a creature they can see within 30 feet.
    The target must immediately attempt a Fortitude save against the medusa's petrifying
    gaze. If the creature was already slowed by petrifying gaze before attempting
    its save, a failed save causes it to be petrified permanently. After attempting
    its save, the creature is then temporarily immune until the start of the medusa's
    next turn.
