Neo-Gorgon

Neo-Gorgons are new additions to The World, but by no means confirmed to the general populace.

Description
Unlike the Gorgons of old, these are bipedal. They are covered in a green tinted (and all different shades of green gray and black) scales. They have living snakes for hair as well as vertically slanted eyes. They can reach human height, though it takes about thirty years to reach adulthood. Anatomically, their systems are similar to human, but with a stronger heart, which has lead to theories by those in the know that they are cousins to the Utan. They produce their young via eggs, fully formed, miniature composite versions of the parents. The Neo-Gorgon may never stop growing, but only the Neo-Gorgon Matriarch has reached a very unusual height for most species.

Their snakes-hairs, which is usually kept loose about the face, grows at a similar pace with their host. They are rather uncontrollable, and respond to the emotions of the host, causing unintended venomous bites when ticked off. They send sensory information to their host. Mostly taste ans smell, a compliment in Neo-Gorgon etiquette is "I like your taste." It is considered very bad etiquette to cut off one of their heads, and in battle, their are kept in tight control reflexively. To keep a modicum of control, a brimmed hat is usually worn.

They do not show many similar personality traits, mostly being friendly, but very violent when threatened. They have been hunted most of their existence, due to a belief they are the Gorgon's of ancient times. They try to temper their violence with a sort of honor. They don't want to shoot first, unprovoked. Umbra has been hunting them the longest. Neo-Gorgons adopted the Cartridge Revolver as their weapon of choice due to the fact they have fought many Umbra hunters.

Rumor has it, a group of them serve House Percian of Arkham, Althea. They serve as a house servants and body guards. Rumor has it that lesser scions of House Percian have scales on their hands. A very large group, led by the Matriarch has left with Green Mustard during the Utan Migration Wars acting as guards, accepting the amnesty the Warlord with the One Eye was granting to all non-humans.
