Medusas are wicked snake-women. Contrary to the manual, Medusas do not have a paralyzing gaze; rather, they have a paralyzing spell cast at range. Getting up close will force them to use melee instead.

When killed they have a 9% chance to drop 18 - 180 gold, 60% chance to drop a magic item or potion, and a 90% chance of a low-quality item.

"The medusa is a creature with the upper body of a woman and the lower torso of a snake. It writhes along using its hands and body to wind its way through its lair. Medusa are very strong and intelligent, and armed with a fearsome weapon. Their gaze has the ability to paralyze an opponent. Because of their magical nature, they are immune to weapons below dwarven."
