Since we are getting all technical and letting our true nerdlyness show I would like to correct this statement as I often see/hear people use "Medusa" when they should be using "Gorgon", it is a very common mistake so I mean no disrespect to you personally Xietor.
The species, if you wish to call it that, is Gorgon. Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa were the names of the Gorgon sisters of Greek Mythology.
As for the topic, I think from a technical standpoint all mindless beings would be immune to the effects of the Medusa Shield and Gorgon petrification because the reason people would be turned to stone when they looked at a Gorgon was because they were so hideously ugly. Mindless beings have no mind to comprehend ugliness, they are just constructs being controlled by their master. It would be like saying a robot or a car being driven by a person could be turned to stone. Now the person driving the car could be if they weren't careful, but it's not going to stop the car.
From a game play perspective it could be possible to say that all mindless being are "bind" because their mind, or lack there of, does not process what the eyes are seeing so even if they have eye balls it doesn't mean they work, like people who are blind from birth they still have eye balls... usually.
I don't know how this would affect game balance though.
