Gorgons are magical monsters resembling cattle made of iron. Their breath can turn living creatures to stone; it covers an area 60' long by 10' wide, and can be used as many times per day as the monster has hit dice, but no more often than every other round. A save vs. Petrify is allowed to resist.
An adult male gorgon weights up to 4,500 pounds and can be as much as 7 feet tall at the shoulder and up to 9 feet long. Females (cows) will be a bit smaller, perhaps no more than 6 feet at the shoulder and 8 feet long with a weight of around 4,000 pounds. However, their combat statistics are much the same as the males. Any group of more than one gorgon will consist of one bull with the rest being cows
Special Abilities
Petrification Breath — Breath covers an area 60' long by 10' wide. Can be used as many times per day as the monster has hit dice, but no more often than every other round. A save vs. Petrify is allowed to resist.
