Gorgeous Gorgon: Difference between revisions

Line 80:

* Medusa in ''Voyage Of The Unicorn''.

* In a ''[[Tales from the Darkside]]'' episode entitled "Miss May Dusa", an attractive and relatively normal looking gorgon awakens after having spent several centuries as a mannequin. She meets up with a blind musician in a subway and shares her sad story, only to catch her own reflection and end up back where she started.

* The Medusans in the original ''[[Star Trek: The ~~Original Series|Star Trek the~~ Original Series]]'' series need to stay hidden in a box, or else you'll be driven insane just by looking at them. They're actually quite friendly, and it's not their fault they make you go crazy when you look at them.

* Natira, Scorpius's mistress on ''[[Farscape]]''. She's even referred to as "Medusa" by [[The Nicknamer|Crichton]].

* ''[[Special Unit 2]]'' had medusae Links, two extremely attractive sisters who would pick up guys in a bar, take them to their place, and turn them into stone. Going undercover, O'Malley has to decide which of the two pairs of girls were the Links and which simply wanted a threesome with him. He guesses right: whichever pair is going to go to any lengths to get him. The other girls were a little new at this.

== Tabletop RPG ==

* ''[[Dungeons ~~and~~ Dragons]]'' has Medusas, which can seduce you with their legs and then turn you to stone. Also, [http://mariopons.deviantart.com/art/Tanar-ri-sketch-2-97229598 Mariliths], Erinyes, Succubi...

** On the other hand, Nymphs use their beauty as a weapon...it's the last thing any trespasser looking at them sees.

*** Well, usually, nymphs are A) highly charismatic (low to mid 20s) and B) naked. So, you know, it's a case of [[Go Out with a Smile]].

Line 112:

* ''[[World of Warcraft]]'''s Lady Vashj seems to be widely regarded as [[Fetish Fuel]]. She's a six-armed mutant elf who not only has snake ''hair'', but also has a snake tail instead of legs.

** This is reportedly what happened to Queen Azshara as well. It is specifically noted that she still retains her otherworldly beauty in stark contrast to her monstrous form.

** Infested Kerrigan from ''[[~~Starcraft~~]]'' has a little something too, especially on the cover and title screen.

*** Played straight in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BKHO6LsOAU this] commercial.

* The Cloud of Darkness in ''[[Final Fantasy III]]''. It's an avatar of pure destruction out to end existence...but for some reason, it decides to take the form of a completely nude green woman. ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy]]'' redesigned her(?) into [http://images.wikia.com/finalfantasy/images/1/19/Cloud_of_darkness.png pure fanservice].

Line 150:

== Western Animation ==

* Medusa from the animated ''[[Hercules (~~Disney~~ film)|Hercules]]'' series. Here, she's a good-natured girl who just wants "a friend that isn't a total [[Just for Pun|rock]]-head".

* Medusa from the animated ''[[Hercules (1997 film)||Hercules]]'' series. Here, she's a good-natured girl who just wants "a friend that isn't a total [[Just for Pun|rock]]-head".

** Helped in that she was voiced by [[Jennifer Love Hewitt]].

* A gorgon appears briefly in ''[[Justice League]].'' Except for the green skin and snake hair, she is fairly average looking and, oddly, has a New York/Jersey accent.
