Gorgons are powerful bull-like creatures covered in iron plates. [1] They can be found underneath Eberron in the caverns of Khyber . [4] [5]
Abilities
Gorgons are very strong creatures who can fight with horns and hooves. They can exhale a green vapor from their nostrils that petrifies those who have the misfortune of breathing it. [1]
History
Gorgons are believed to be creations of the daelkyr Orlassk . [6] During the Daelkyr War , gorgons were among the army of creatures unleashed on the goblin city of Cazhaak Draal . [7] The medusas who currently occupy Cazhaak Draal keep domesticated gorgons, and use them as mounts in combat. [4] [8]
Symbolism
House Cannith uses the gorgon as a symbol of their house. A Cannith gorgon stamp on a product is a sign that it meets quality standards. [9] Alaran's gorgon is a golem based on a gorgon built to be a symbol of Cannith. [10]
