Medusa

A Medusa is a sapient monster, or a gorgon, generally described as a winged human female with living venomous snakes in place of hair.

They are not an evil species, but they are a very neutral species. You can gaze her hideous face, and you won't be turned into stone, but if you provoke a Medusa, you would be temporarily turned into stone, but you can still forgive her once you're back into flesh, so being turned into a stone would last for an average of within a few minutes, and medusas always forgive you.

Unlike the evil Medusa, they are not an evil race when brought to real life by Greek scientists, but they are truly a very peaceful and neutral species, and are friendly to humans, dylanuses and other sapient species, except vampires, due to bloody conflicts with them. They are omnivores that feed on the same kind of food as many other sapient species and sapient beings.
