for those not fully versed in zoology...medusa = jellyfish

not sure if they exist. May want to check Stormwrack possibly. If not, make something up. I thought they used to have stats for these back in the 1-2ed days. I'd go mostly with Strength poisons, but for some like the Sea Wasp, a Con poison would definitely be applicable. Heck....in an aquatic environment, a Str poison would be the death of something that can't breathe water...

EDIT:
Creature Collection 2 has a Blood Sea Jellyfish.
Monsterous Compendium Annual 2 - Jellyfish, Giant - Portugese Man-o-War
Mystara Appendix - Jellyfish, Giant - Maurader, Deaths Head and Galley
Tome of Horrors 1 - Monstrous Jellyfish
Stormwrack - Jellyfish Swarm

What is a real man o war?

ceratitis · May 17, 2006

its a type of jellyfish, google it. if you're unlucky and get hit by a few or simply cant get away they can take a man down and have done so in the past. the poison paralizes you in addition to being very painful and eventually knocks you out at which point you drown and it feeds

They'd be quite neat while swimming through swarm of them or having to fight a giant one. It's D&D - there are challenges to overcome and critters to kill.
