Monster Manual (3E)
Unlike medusas, half-fiend/half-medusas are never mistaken for humans at any distance (the large bat wings give them away). Other medusas do not automatically reject these crossbreeds - in fact, they usually accept them as rulers.
Combat
More than their non-fiend siblings, half-fiend/half-medusas attack with aggressiveness and battle lust. They enjoy torturing their enemies.
Spell-Like Abilities: 3/day - darkness; 1/day - desecrate and unholy blight. These abilities are as the spells cast by a 6th-level cleric.
Petrifying Gaze (Su): Turn to stone permanently, 30 feet, Fortitude save (DC 15).
Poison (Ex): Snakes, Fortitude save (DC 15); initial damage 1d6 temporary Strength, secondary damage 2d6 temporary Strength.
Evil Subtype
A subtype usually applied only to outsiders native to the evil-aligned Outer Planes. Evil outsiders are also called fiends. Most creatures that have this subtype also have evil alignments; however, if their alignments change, they still retain the subtype. Any effect that depends on alignment affects a creature with this subtype as if the creature has an evil alignment, no matter what its alignment actually is. The creature also suffers effects according to its actual alignment. A creature with the evil subtype overcomes damage reduction as if its natural weapons and any weapons it wields were evil-aligned (see Damage Reduction).
Lawful Subtype
A subtype usually applied only to outsiders native to the lawful-aligned Outer Planes. Most creatures that have this subtype also have lawful alignments; however, if their alignments change, they still retain the subtype. Any effect that depends on alignment affects a creature with this subtype as if the creature has a lawful alignment, no matter what its alignment actually is. The creature also suffers effects according to its actual alignment. A creature with the lawful subtype overcomes damage reduction as if its natural weapons and any weapons it wields were lawful-aligned (see Damage Reduction).
