Medusa (Kid Icarus)



Medusa the Godess of Darkness has appeared in multiple Kid Icarus Games, usually as the final boss

Kid Icarus

Angel Land was Originally ruled by the goddess of light, Palutena, and the goddess of darkness, Medusa. Palutena bestowed the people with light to make them happy, but Medusa hated the humans, dried up their crop, and turned them to stone. Enraged by this, Palutena transformed Medusa into a monster, and banished her to the underworld. Out of revenge, Medusa conspired with the monsters of the underworld to take over Palutena's residence, the sky temple.[15] She launched a surprise attack, and stole the three sacred treasures – the Mirror Shield, the Light Arrows, and the Wings of Pegasus – which deprived Palutena's army of its power. After her soldiers had been turned to stone by Medusa, Palutena was defeated in battle, and imprisoned deep inside the sky temple. With her last power, she sent a bow and arrow to the young angel Pit. He escapes from his prison in the underworld, and sets out to save Palutena and Angel Land. After finding the treasure's, Pit is victorious in defeating medusa.
