Armed with bows, medusas and medusa queens can attack at range to good effect. Their hand-to-hand attacks do the same damage and also have a 20% chance of [[petrify]]ing their targets for three rounds. Petrified creatures cannot move, take 50% damage, and become unfrozen when attacked.

Due to their small amount of shots it is highy recommended to upgrade them right away, and their building doesn't require any hard to get resource. Medusas and Medusas Queens themselves are also pretty cheap
== Official Renders ==
They are pretty resilent units compared to the other ranged units. This paired with the threat of stone gaze and lack of mele penalty makes it risky to directly attack them with mele units.

{{Town creatures
Due to their small amount of shots it is highly recommended to upgrade them right away, and their building doesn't require any hard to get resource. The four extra shots are the main draw of Queens. Medusas and Medusa Queens themselves are also pretty cheap. The upgrade is only 10% of the base cost, which is rather forgiving.

Medusas are the only 4 level unit which are sadly not a specialty of any hero.
| lvl_1U = Infernal troglodyte
 
| lvl_2B = Harpy
Despite their large bodies which occupy two hexes, they have notable little HP, comparable with many level 3 units. The large bodies also make them harder to shield than other shooters. Fortunately, they do have average defense and speed to compensate. This paired with the threat of stone gaze and lack of melee penalty makes it risky to directly attack them with melee units.
| lvl_2U = Harpy hag
 
| lvl_3B = Beholder
Medusas actually are weaker in both ranged and melee than [[Magi]]. However, the Stone Gaze ability does help to even the odds in a melee fight. Medusas also have an easier to build dwelling (which could mean earlier growth) and are significantly cheaper than Magi, though their weekly growth is the same.
