Scorpion King and Medusa pretender...any use ?

Well, if you consider that the analogue the Scorpion King is otherwise a mounted unit (feetless, larger size), you wouldn't have gotten a defense or encumberance penalty anyway. You do save out on the spellcasting fatigue, but black plate ain't all that.

The Medusa does seem to have more style than substance.

If she had a built-in Aegis effect, that'd make her a very scary person, with people being petrified and turned to stone and crap.
