Medusa

Medusa is a monster from Greek mythology. With hair made from live snakes, she was able to turn anyone who looked into eyes into stone. She was supposedly killed when Perseus beheaded her.

An incarnation of Medusa lived on Shanazar and terrorise cities by turning their populations into statues. Sonic the Hedgehog and Amy Rose were in town one day during one of her rampages. Having already defeated Death-Trap, Medusa turned her attention to the hedgehogs. Amy appeared to have a plan, legend stating that she gazed at her own reflection and turned herself to stone. Unfortunately, that part of the myth was incorrect as Medusa was immune to her own magic. Unable to look into her eyes, Sonic destroyed a sandy Kalus, blowing the debris at Medusa, obscuring her vision. Amy then thumped her before the local guards bagged her head and took the monster away.
