i always thought that Morrowind having a spell called medusa's gaze was kinda weird since Medusa is like a irl myth but no. arena actually had creatures called medusas that could paralyse you and they look like this

this is so funny why are they crawling AND slithering. engineered inefficiency

#martin posts #tes #arena #morrowind #i was trying to figure out wtf the tsaescis deal is since they're described as 'inverted gorgons' but are depicted as regular dudes #so then i was like 'okay wtfs a gorgon then' they're snakes that are alchemical ingredients in daggerfall. then uesp is like #'see also: medusa' and then i found out about these things!! amazing #anyway i think it'd be cool to see medusas come back. i know lamias exist but they could be merged with medusas #you could have a fun lore explanation a la terry pratchetts version of pavlovs dog :D #also i want to see the inverted gorgon tsaesci. gimme a jacked dude with the bottom half of a snake and a cool sword #actually yknow what i could probs just draw it myself since ive been doing some painting the past couple days
