In the original ''[[Kid Icarus]]'', Medusa is typically shown as a monstrous gorgon with scaly green skin, a single eye, and snakes in her blonde hair. Before she was cursed by Palutena to take a form of a monster, the manual of the NES game states that Medusa was a beautiful goddess. Also, the anime short, ''[[Medusa's Revenge]]'', depicts her before her transformation as a relatively attractive-looking young woman with pale skin and long black hair.

Medusa made an appearance in the episode "''Mega Trouble for Megaland''" where she was guarding the [[Three Sacred Treasures]] on Mount Icarus. Her design is a mix between her human and monster forms, and she has a beautiful voice to trick her victims into a false sense of safety. This ability worked on the easily fooled Simon Belmont, although Medusa was ultimately defeated by accidentally looking into the [[Mirror Shield]] and turning herself into stone.
