Medusa (Castlevania)

Medusa Heads are infamous enemies found in the Castlevania series and are based very loosely on the Gorgons of Greek legend - however they are also quite similar to the Beholders of Dungeons & Dragons due to their alien design.

Medusa Heads are flying disembodies heads complete with a collection of living snakes in place of hair - they are hated by many gamers due to their tendency to swarm en mass, their knock-back abilities and the fact they are quite hard to hit with regular weapons.
