Medusa

Medusa is the powerful snake woman that has appeared in nearly every Castlevania game to date. She was supposedly going to make an appearance in the cancelled "Castlevania: Resurrection".

Medusa is a woman with snakes instead of hair, also portraited having a snake tail instead of legs, that has the power to transform its victims into stone. In early games she was a big flying Medusa Head. Besides the boss, several floating Medusa Heads appear as normal enemies in most games.

Vampire Killer
Medusa, called Great Medusa in western manuals and Mommy Medusa in the Japanese manual (mispelled as Mammy Medusa), is a big flying Medusa head that drops snakes in the floor. The player receives 2000 points for her defeat.



Castlevania
This Medusa, called Queen Medusa in the American manual, acts in the same way as the Medusa from Vampire Killer, except she gives 3000 points after being defeated.



Castlevania Legends
In the Game Boy game Castlevania Legends, Medusa is the sub-boss of the fourth stage.



Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
in this game, Medusa wields a sword and a shield.
