Medusa Queens are tier-V units of the Dungeon faction. They can be recruited from Stilled Voices II.

They are upgraded versions of the Medusa, the other being the Medusa Sculptor.

Description

Rumors speak of a chthonic lifeform thrives deep below the passages explored by the Triumvirate, with all medusae as its kin — but only the gorgons hold the truth.

If these tales are more than a myth, one must wonder — who do these “Queens” truly serve?
