fair enough . But it has wings and snake hair as the more traditional Greek representation of the Gorgon... boooo hehe. The developers also implement petrification as a fear effect and not the ability to literally turn to stone [to my knowledge at least]. Lastly there is no unique ability for shielded units to avoid that petrification like in the tale of Perseus & Medusa.
So while the units do have the same name, they function differently in terms of abilities / use / rarity (pretender vs. common troop).
Besides, my Version of the Medusa would have the more mainstream, snake-body with snake hair appearance (no wings) .
Oh and BTW, nice job on the orcs hehe. I was going to say there is a surprising lack of greenskin type race in the game, but then I remembered there's some nations that have reptilian type creatures that are green . But it still feels like there is no 'greenskin' race to me, so the orcs fill a nice void there. I seem to differentiate between green-reptiles and 'greenskin' lol.
