Something that would be cool is a dungeon where there's a room full of water that you have to drain for some reason but there's a statue of a bull at the bottom and it turns into a gorgon and then they have to fight it.
I like that. I like that a lot. But, also imagine a stone bull statue being dredged from a river, sold off to researchers, and then released in the museum because Dave ‘had to have’ his oculus.
@@RustyhairedLamialp9575 everything was going fine with the light of the torches, until the priest cast his Light spell from the Sun sphere of magic, and the beast broke loose
I thought the same but it was a lake that the player party drains to reach a dungeon, revealing hundreds, and about 1/3 of them come to life immediately.
I actually like the ida of a city/village having a large statue in the center of the town-square that celebrates when the hero of the city/town defeated a rogue Gorgon. Unknown to the town the hero had tricked the Gorgon to chase him off a cliff leading to them plunging into the large lake below that the city/town sits upon. Then the group is tasked with cleaning the statue for the up incoming festival for the heroic act, which could lead to them having to find out how to get rid of the mud an grim on the Gorgon statue, and if they fail to stop the cleaning of the statue in time the Gorgon awakens in the middle of the city/town. Place in it that the group maybe is collecting things for the festival too like say some of the items/possessions of the hero, accounts of the actual event of the deed, and seeking out a mage to help clean the statue as just normal methods of cleaning it are not working. The group could go thru several levels prior to finding accounts of what happened, and that the statue had been found /dragged up from the lake after the hero's death, and then placed in the town center to commemorate the deed. Just imagine the look of the group as they figure out prior to the statue being cleaned what it is actually, or them arriving at the festival an seeing the Gorgon awaken in front of them with out warning an gaining full surprise on the group.
Geez imagine finding the statue of a bull at the bottom of a river and shipping it back to town Selling it to a mayor. The mayor loves it a orders someone to clean it and place it in the center of his tower. Come noon the entire town is overwhelmed by the smell of cabbage right before they all hear an angry bulls scream. That has to be an adventure written somewhere right
MrRhexx: Lone Gorgon's are either seeking females, or alpha bulls to fight. My Minotaur barbarian: Ah. FINALLY! A worthy opponent. Our battle will be Legendary!!
Imagine that a group of low-level adventurers are tasked by an eccentric collector to retrieve a stone bull from a riverbed and fix it up for display. After herculean efforts to haul the bull out and clean it, it suddenly revives and goes to town on them.

in 3.5 I once used these as the basis for a ramped up tribe of minotaur. Most just had the plating, the leader was massive with a small ballista and the breath weapon. Also had earth mephit companions, which swarmed them and constantly summoned more as they made thier way to the throne. They were 11th level, so nobody stayed down for good, but it REALLY made them sweat.
Notable thing about the D&D Gorgon is that it's clearly based off of the mythical Greek Catoblepas, which has been described as a scaled carnivorous bull that exhales a pestilent haze that causes plants to die and livestock to become ill and is occasionally said to have a gaze that either petrifies people (Similar to the Gorgons of Greek myth) or simply outright kills them upon eye contact.
Interestingly enough, Greek mythology had a creature similar to that called the Colchis Bulls, a bull made of bronze that spat fire. No idea why they decided to call it a gorgon instead. Maybe they mixed up the names back then?
Probably a pun on goring, like the thing angry bulls do, and just to mess with everyone. Every new player knows what to expect when you say gorgon, but it's actually not.
It comes from the Cleric Edward Topsell’s Bestiary “The History of Four Footed Beasts” there are a lot of creatures and one of them is the Gorgon which is a scaled bull with wings and human hands, the funny thing is that the Gorgon actually breaths out toxic gas, and the Catoblepas was another metalic bull that actually has the stone breath, but these two and other mythological bulls are often mixed.
Yes I love that back in 2nd edition they had stuff on how to protect your structs like this. If I am rembering right displacer blood can stop phasing and pass stone. You should do a vid on things when making homes. Ever since back then many if not all Castles in my campains have stuff like that otherwise a castle offers no protection.
It seems like a lot of spells would be highly effective against them. Heat metal, chill metal, transmute metal to wood, and rusting grasp come to mind. Oh heck, the first level druid spell cloudburst would be enough to send them running. I'm certain there are others.
Unfortunately, it would seem that only 1 of those spells is carried over to 5th edition at this point. and while Heat Metal is a bomb spell, it is not going to do enough damage by itself to take this thing down, only make it very. VERY. angry.
@@chrisnichols9014 An old bestiary from the middle ages reprinted in the 60s or something inspired this gorgon for Gygax and was based on the Catoblepas.
If there is, you could probably find it in Kara-Tur. And from the few things I read about the eastern empires like Shou Lung, they seem to be relativly close to ancient Asia in our world, so it is definitelly possible.
Great video but I'm sad you didn't mention the Gorgimera, and that's like one of my all time favorite D&D monsters!! 😭 Lol good stuff though, Rhexx, you are *THE* D&D lore channel, to me at least 👍😇👍
Whenever I want to learn something about FR I always come to this channel first. I am looking for a history of Waterdeep with perhaps an emphasis on contemporary politics within the city. I would love to see a 'What They Don't Tell You About Waterdeep' or any of the popular towns, cities, regions, etc.
whenever i watch one of these videos in this series i always think "Man those planar videos make me wanna play so much D&D and travel the multiverse" and then i watch these damned monster vids and i'm like "NEVER MIND jezus christ how am i supposed to tackle something this horrific and deadly"
Rhexx, you should really do a What They Don’t Tell You About Tieflings. I’m about to play as one and I want to get into the mindset better since I’ve never played a tiefling.
If you're still looking for stuff on tieflings, go check out Arcaneforge videos, basically the same except they draw art while discussing the creatures or things
While referencing Greek mythology it is also worth to mention a piece of its history, that I think inspired D&D's Gorgon: the bronze bull. It was a method of execution, where the exucutee was put in a hollow statue of a bronze bull, and then fused inside. After that a fire was stoked underneath the bull, leading to the executees painful demise via boiling alive.
Thank you Rhexx, just gonna steal the Gorgons blood and lead shielding idea for a certain BBEG who doesn't want to take 7 levels in wizard for Mordenkainen's Private Sanctum. Love your work as always. Totally called the rust monster weakness the second I heard its scales were actual Iron. You have really helped me flush out the world-building for the campaign I have been writing the last 2 years.
I'd imagine it would be something weird like: "The Gorgon's breath smells of bitter sulphur, and orange peels" The way i see it, if you can't find any information just make it up lol. Seems more fun than not.
Best epic fail a temple of the bull where if you roll a 1 for investigation you find a hidden lever, when pulled the roof rolls back letting in the sunlight turning all the statues to gorgons.
Oh man, I was so ready to correct you about the introduction of the Gorgon into D&D, but just had to double-check first. It turns out the gorgon was introduced in the original 3 rulebooks (#2: Monsters and Treasure) from when D&D spun off of Chainmail and it was already a different monster than the medusae at that point, so I was wrong there. I assume the form they gave it was based in some way on the Catoblepas which also became its own monster in D&D regardless. I expect that is one you will cover fairly soon.
Good form Rhexx, im still reeling from that economy jab; top shelf indeed😭. Gorgon City is an EDM act, so i wonder if this is inspiration for their group. Now I'm imagining a whole city of Gorgons, what a logistical nightmare. I greatly appreciate the level of depth for this series, and your character/charisma shines through with the choice of dialog and delivery; like i can imagine you running the game would be next level
In one of my 1st/oldest adventures I DM, I added Gorgons. We had a long chat discussing if they count as constructs. I decided to "make up the lore" and make them animals with metallic leather armour, similar to Dragons. So very similar to what the manual doesn't tell. I also noticed it must have been originally created by mixing Greek myths. As it looks and acts like the "Cretan Bull" and since old references come from stone statues...bull gets petrification powers, and when researching about it they found about Medusa, the Gorgon. So it feels some notes got mixed when makeing this monster. I don't mind. I really like this monster. Mixed with the Bullet, they are cool metallic monsters. Later on a slightly more modern adventure I introduced a cowbow (gunslinger) who owned a ranch of Gorgons.
Heh, just a bit of a thought. So when they mate, will people hear metallic clanging noises in the distance? If so, then that would be one other way of knowing there's Gorgons not that far away and you need to walk the other way. I'd imagine some experienced adventurer hearing that and would be (There are Gorgons nearby!) and the others (How can you tell? and the Vet goes (Do you hear that clanging?) the other goes (That's a blacksmith's forge, no?) and the vet goes (The nearest blacksmith is miles away from here. no, this must be two Gorgons going at it) and then the rest of the party slowly realize what he means.
I just finished planning a lvl 5 oneshot for my players and, at the very last minute, decided not to include gorgons. They are so deadly!! Thank you for making these video, especially the last bit of lore XD.
The gorgon as a bull comes from an old book, "The Historie of Foure-Footed Beastes". You actually used the image of the gorgon from that book in the video at 11:50. A few D&D monsters were pulled from this book.
I remember watching a video on these guys from jorphdan if I believe he said it was an elven goddess that gave them the ability to turn to stone if they are submerged in deep water
I nearly TPKd a 3rd level party with a gorgon once. They were about to run away (which was my intention), when one of the players came in late. We started with him where he was last game, which was just behind the Gorgon. Well, he was a monk, so he jumped on top of it and... ...well, if you've ever seen that one gif where a guy just stands on a bucking bronco machine no matter how it moves. Yeah, that's what happened. Bronco busted it into a wall head first.
just thought about if a PC playing a minotaur beats a gorgon bull and the gorgon cows start following him cause... well, he's bull-shaped and smells of metal. just me but that sounds funny.
Gorgon is an iron bull that appears in the story of Jason and the Argonauts not to be confused with the three sisters. Same name but from different regions. Its breath was said to be poisonous.
Something that would be cool is a dungeon where there's a room full of water that you have to drain for some reason but there's a statue of a bull at the bottom and it turns into a gorgon and then they have to fight it.
And there is a sun roof
I like that. I like that a lot. But, also imagine a stone bull statue being dredged from a river, sold off to researchers, and then released in the museum because Dave ‘had to have’ his oculus.

One of the PCs sees the town's new statue and succeeds at a knowledge check. He pulls out his waterskin and pours water on the statue. He bends down, grabs some mud, and slaps it onto the statue.

….. Totally not confusing
Gorgon's are a race of snake people that can turn you to stone. This name does not make sense for this creature at all.

I didn't know the thing about them petrifying under water.
Thanks for doing these, always a great day when I see you have a new one!
Part of what’s cool about the gorgon blood construction is that historically blood has been used in construction as a binding agent
"from beans or tofu" was there a time a gorgan ate tofu? is tofu even cannon in forgotten realms?
we need answers
If there is, you could probably find it in Kara-Tur.
And from the few things I read about the eastern empires like Shou Lung, they seem to be relativly close to ancient Asia in our world, so it is definitelly possible.
I was more like, "Tofu has iron in it?"
Feed it tofu flavored like fish and it'll love it!
I really hoped that you would make one about gorgon (I plan to make my players encounter it) and my whish came true! Thank you so much for that video!
honestly, boiling some cabbage and putting it in a small tupperware or something and opening it doing the description of a Gorgon would be amazing!
I have gigs all day and needed some listening material right now. These are always so well timed. I literally just set up on a worksite.
I've been expecting this one after all the other monsters with petrifying effects
That shot of the gorgon miniature was very appreciated.

Gorgon is an iron bull that appears in the story of Jason and the Argonauts not to be confused with the three sisters. Same name but from different regions. Its breath was said to be poisonous.
When people think of the word gorgon, they think of a chick that can petrify you. Calling this bull thing a gorgon is just weird.
