I believe we are hunting a gorgon, an ancient cursed being, with an affinity for snakes and a hunger for human flesh.
History
A gorgon is a type of demigod that feeds on humans and can see the fate of others through the consumption of human eyes.
Characteristics
Gorgons appear human, but upon consuming human eyeballs, their eyes will change to that of a reptile and allow them to get a glimpse into the future. According to lore, every few months gorgons will go on a spree and gorge themselves, not unlike snakes.
Powers and abilities
- Paralyzing venom - With a simple kiss anywhere on an individual (including angels), a gorgon is capable of paralyzing their prey. The numbing effect of the venom takes time however, and a gorgon may start feeding before the venom has taken effect causing their victims to feel everything.
- Super strength - A gorgon is strong enough to fight evenly with and defeat angels.
- Precognition - By eating the eyes of a human, a gorgon gains foresight, able to see their enemies coming before they arrive and to see the fates of those they look upon.
Weaknesses
- Silver blade - A gorgon can only be killed by having their head chopped off with a silver blade.

Gorgon in Lore
In Greek mythology a gorgon was a creature whose gaze could turn a person to stone. The most well known are the three sisters - Medusa, Stheno and Euryale - who had live snakes for hair, and who would turn any person who looked on them to stone.
