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. | ||
Her greatly revamped look in | Her greatly revamped look in ''Uprising'' gave her a much more human-like appearance while retaining some of her gorgon features such as snakes on her hair and scaly hands. She has ghostly white skin, black hair instead of the previous blonde, and a black tattoo running down her left eye. Her dress is a dark purple with gold and crimson that is also very long, making her legs and feet not visible. She wears numerous gold accessories and ornaments to give off a regal look to fit her title as queen. Medusa is usually seen wielding a serpentine staff that seems to resemble the [[wikipedia:ouroboros|Ouroboros]]. Her monster form is similar to the one from the first game. | ||

She is a vengeful deity that does not go down lightly and will hold life-long grudges to those that oppose her. Medusa is also significantly much more serious compared to the other gods as she rarely ever jokes or breaks the fourth wall. However, Medusa seems to be not completely evil as she can be willing to help her own enemies in order to reach similar goals. | ||

When Pit encounters Medusa in the [[Palace of the Sky]], she has taken refuge in a large effigy of herself. Pit must dodge deadly rays and [[Tanatos]] snakes from her hair, all while attempting to hit her with [[Arrow of Light|Arrows of Light]]. By positioning himself just a little bit under eye-level, he can avoid the majority of her attacks easily. Once she's taken enough damage, the eye will disappear, revealing a crumpling Medusa. The [[Mirror Shield]] will block her eye beams, but only if the shield is up (when Pit's not firing). Careful timing will prevent unnecessary damage. | When Pit encounters Medusa in the [[Palace of the Sky]], she has taken refuge in a large effigy of herself.
