In the original ''[[Kid Icarus]]'', Medusa is typically shown as a monstrous gorgon with scaly green skin, a single eye, and four 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. | In the original ''[[Kid Icarus]]'', Medusa is typically shown as a monstrous gorgon with scaly green skin, a single eye, and four snakes in her blonde hair.

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. Her hair contains a dozen snakes, eleven of which are green, and a single orange-colored one. Medusa has ghostly white skin, long black hair instead of the previous blonde, and a black tattoo running down her left eye. Her dress seems to be made from dark purple velvet with gold and crimson decorations. Her dress 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 violet serpentine staff that seems to resemble the [[wikipedia:Ouroboros|Ouroboros]] or the [[wikipedia:Rod of Asclepius|Rod of Asclepius]]. Her monstrous form is similar to the one from the first game, but is a floating disembodied head. | 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.

During the final battle with her in ''Uprising'', Medusa is forced to utilize her full strength to defeat Pit. She removes the spell that conceals her face in a mask of beauty, forcing her to reveal her true monstrous form. Her monstrous form is similar to the one from the first game, but is a floating disembodied head. Like before, Medusa has scaly green skin, a single red eye, and two tongues. The snakes in her hair are now orange. | |||
