Gorgons: A New Enemy for the Snake Pit?
Below I have a rough draft of a stat block for what a gorgon might look like, based on the monster entries on the Crawl wiki. The flying flag is a in reference to some traditional accounts of winged gorgons, but isn't essential. As per Greek mythology, gorgons should travel in threes. I've also considered a more powerful variant which I call a gorgon queen, who is a part of some gorgon trios and has additional abilities, such as a spell that summons snakes.
