'''Petrify''' (also '''Paralyze''') is special ability of [[Basilisk and Greater Basilisk|basilisks]], [[Medusa and Medusa Queen|medusas]] and [[Scorpicore]]s. It causes enemy to freeze, and unable to move or attack for three combat rounds if not attacked. Attacking a petrified creature cases petrify to lapse, but the attack only does 50% of its damage. The visual effect for basilisks' and medusas' petrify is the same, a stoned creature. Visual effect of Scorpicores is a bit similar to [[Dendroid Guard and Dendroid Soldier|dendroids]] [[binding]], a bunch of vines appearing from the ground. Petrification can be removed with [[Cure]] or [[Dispel]].
Medusas' and Basilisks' petrifying attack may occur after they have attacked or [[retaliation|retaliated]] target creature stack. The chance of petrifying the target is 20%. If Medusas or Basilisks petrify while they attack, the target will not have a chance to retaliate. Petrification can be removed with the [[Cure]] or [[Dispel]] spell. Otherwise it will last for 3 combat rounds or until the petrified stack is attacked. When a petrified troop is attacked it takes half damage (both melee and ranged attacks) and retaliates at full strength.

Petrifying attack (or Petrify or sometimes Stone Gaze) is a special ability of Basilisks and Greater Basilisks and Medusas and Medusa Queens. In the game, the term stone gaze is referred in the Medusas' description. The effect of both abilities are identical.

Medusas' and Basilisks' petrifying attack may occur after they have attacked or retaliated target creature stack. The chance of petrifying the target is 20%. If Medusas or Basilisks petrify while they attack, the target will not have a chance to retaliate. Petrification can be removed with the Cure or Dispel spell. Otherwise it will last for 3 combat rounds or until the petrified stack is attacked. When a petrified troop is attacked it takes half damage (both melee and ranged attacks) and retaliates at full strength.

Petrifying attacks are negated by the Recanter's Cloak and Cursed Ground, but not by the Orb of Inhibition.
