[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 6204886, member: 52734"] No. Give us the monster and what it is now. Let us decide how it came to be, and how it makes more of its own kind. My medusa are not former humans. They are their own race that predates humanity. They resent that humans have encroached on areas they once called their own, and they generally direct that resentment as malice towards humanity. There are a few medusas instead, however, that do not see humanity as a threat - and may be approached as seers or scribes by those who act respectfully towards the medusa - and are careful to never gaze upon her face. Or perhaps my medusas are the half-breed offspring of yuan-ti cults and humans, creating an insidious weapon of war. Medusas are raised to hide among humanity and prey upon them, answering to yuan-ti overlords. Actually, they originated from a cult of prideful clerics of a god of love. When the head priestess spurned the disguised avatar of their goddess, she cursed them with a vile shape, down to their tenth generation. Then again, my medusas may be a species of hag. They mate with human males, but when the (always female) offspring hits adolescence, she transforms into a medusa. Why do you think any of YOUR backstories are any more valid than mine WotC? [/QUOTE]
