Stheno, Euryale, Medusa--The Three Gorgons

This is one of the three gorgons in the new story. This is Medusa, who is the queen of the gorgons. She cursed Oberon's wife Titania with slow petrification. She did this because she is jealous of Titania's immortality. Medusa and her sisters, Stheno and Euryale (who are immortal) are searching for a way to make Medusa immortal. Oberon sends Nathan and Rodrick to defeat the gorgons and the gorgons believe the weapons the boys wield are the key to getting what they seek.

This is Euryale, whos name means "farspringer" so I made her tail longer, and her wings more aerodynamic, so she can travel fast and gain distance. I also made her snake hair longer, and thicker, unlike Medusa's short thin "viper" like hair.

This is the third sister, Stheno, whos name means "the mighty". So I made her more power orientated. She has no wings, and a shorter, fatter tail, focusing more on strength than speed. She also has long talon like finger nails. Her hair is also for long, thick boa constrictor like snakes.
