Gorgons are rare, formidable creatures resembling bulls and covered in thick metal scales. They inhabit wilderness areas or dreary caverns and possess a unique breath weapon that can turn living beings into stone. This breath attack, which is cone-shaped, can be used four times a day. Gorgons are neutral in alignment, exhibit animal-level intelligence, and
primarily rely on their breath weapon rather than physical attacks. With a high armor class and substantial hit dice, they are tough opponents, and their presence can be particularly dangerous in their lairs, where they have a higher chance of encountering adventurers. Despite their strength, gorgons lack magical abilities and have no special defenses. Their awareness extends beyond the physical realm, allowing them to sense creatures in both the astral and ethereal planes.
