History
A gorgon is a type of demigod that feeds on humans and can see the fate of others through the consumption of human eyes.
Characteristics
Powers and abilities
- Paralyzing venom - With a simple kiss anywhere on an individual (including angels), a gorgon is capable of paralyzing their prey. The numbing effect of the venom takes time however, and a gorgon may start feeding before the venom has taken effect causing their victims to feel everything.
- Super strength - A gorgon is strong enough to fight evenly with and defeat angels.
- Precognition - By eating the eyes of a human, a gorgon gains foresight, able to see their enemies coming before they arrive and to see the fates of those they look upon.
Weaknesses
- Silver blade - A gorgon can only be killed by having their head chopped off with a silver blade.
