SPECIAL ABILITIES

Petrifying Bite (Su)

Creatures bitten by a shrieking medusa head must make a DC 16 Fortitude save or turn to stone for 1d4 rounds. Targets immune to poison are immune to this effect. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Scream (Su)

Once every 1d4 rounds, a shrieking medusa head can open its jaw and emit a bone-chilling scream. Each creature within 30 feet must make a DC 16 Will save or be shaken for 1d4 rounds. This is a sonic mind-affecting fear effect. Whether or not the save is successful, an affected creature is immune to the same head’s scream for 24 hours.
