Line 64:
* Xanxus from ''[[Katekyo Hitman Reborn]]'' has a [[Cool Pet]] liger who has the power to turn people to stone when it roars. [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill|Then Xanxus shoots them through the head]]...
* Just one of the many Dark Bring in ''[[Rave Master]]''
* ''[[Rosario to+ Vampire]]'''s Ishigama-sensei, the school's art teacher, is a Medusa. Rather than her stare turning people into stone, it's the bite of her snake-like hair that does the job. She's swears she is only turning the school's pretty girls into [[And I Must Scream|statues]] [[Mad Artist|for the art]].
* Not a typical attack, but a real danger of using senjutsu in ''[[Naruto]]''. If the user's body draws more natural energy than it can balance with its own chakra, their body transforms into a stone frog.
** Actually used as an attack against Pein's chakra-absorbing body. As it lacked the knowledge to balance the natural energy, Naruto was able to overload it with the energy and transform it into stone.
Line 346:
** Nethack also contains the Medusa as a unique monster. Just like the mythological version, it possesses a petrifying gaze attack.
* This happens at the end of the climactic fight between Martin Septim and Mehrunes Dagon in ''The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion''.
* A variation occurs in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]] Brawl'': characters are turned into trophies when they are defeated in battle or through machines used by the Nintendo villains. They can usually be revived just by touching the trophy stand that appears beneath them.
* In a pretty solid mimicry of the Dragon Tails example at the top, ''Mage Knight: Apocalypse'' allows Sarus, a biped dragon, to turn himself to crystal, making himself completely immobile for 10 seconds. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqR35rsmddk See it here].
* In ''[[God of War (series)|God of War]]'', Medusa can petrify Kratos, making him vulnerable and easily shattered. After defeating her, he can use her severed head to petrify enemies, who can be shattered and thus easily killed, aerial enemies shatter instantly upon hitting the ground. They can shake it off it not shattered though, and other gorgons are immune to the gaze.
