I only judge something as monstrous by their actions not their looks.
 
@ShimmeringStallion  
lol

@Badumsquish  
I suppose “monstrous” is open to interpretation and a very subjective word to use… I mean, Princess Luna’s got her Nightmare Moon-form, but Celestia’s just… really tall.
 
… Does that count? :/
 
… we need more tall-jokes with the environment… there’s not enough of them… I’m particularly a fan of this one:
 

@Badumsquish  
I freaking love those coils. I would want to roll around in them. And she does seem friendly…
 
@Badumsquish  
…but at least we know Celestia won’t turn anyone to stone by accident.

@Trilby Pony  
What I get a kick out of when doing mythological monsters as ponies, is when the ponies themselves are magical it makes a double standard. It’s like you could call out Maredusa for being an ancient creature with terrifying powers and a monsterous form, and she could just be like “so’s Princess Celestia, you jerk!”

@Badumsquish  
That’s actually a good point. As far as they were concerned, they left him to die.

@Revenant Wings  
Honestly though, I’d rather enjoy her company than the company of the ponies who left a blind man alone with a monster.

Oh ym god, this is so cute, a medusa getting with a blind pony, this is like, the perfect couple.
 
I want to read a fanfic about them.

@Badumsquish  
If it’s true to the original, I’m more worried about turning to stone.

There is somepony for everypony.

@Revenant Wings  
You don’t have to worry about the snakes on her head. They act independantly of her, but they share her emotional state. If she likes you, the snakes like you as well and won’t nip or anything like that.

@Badumsquish  
That doesn’t sound so bad, if it takes direct eye contact as opposed to seeing her at all. Look at her nose or mouth when talking to her and you’ll be fine?
 
@Revenant Wings  
The head snakes are awesome!

I want to see more of this.

She’d be pretty - that scale pattern! - if it weren’t for the snakes on the head.

@Blissey1  
Oh yes. Look her in the eyes and you’re turned to stone, whether she wants to petrify you or not. Thankfully it’s not that serious in Equestria; with things like Cockatrices running about, Equestria sells anti-purification potions over the counter in pharmacies and even some convenience stores.
 
@Parallel Black  
I based her on a diamondback rattlesnake. He was frigging hard to do; I’m actually surprised at how difficult it is to make a totally unremarkable and normal looking OC character.
 
@Pagan  
Hey, if I was able to have friends while being in a relationship with the thing I used to date, well, he should be just fine ;D
 
@Bionomaly  
Even Maredusa needs to tie one on once and a while. One of the perks of having everyone flee in terror: you don’t pay for drinks. Normally she just sits by her lonesome at the bar, enjoying a drink and talking to her snakes, but this time around somepony didn’t flee and she spotted the blinders. That’s an opportunity she’s not letting go of anytime soon.

@Bionomaly  
Maybe she was following/stalking this stallion and that’s where she decided to make her move.

The question I have is why did she go to the bar in the first place?

And now… Maredusa! Kalianne! It’s time FOR A SNEK BATTLEEEEEEEE!!!

That’s pretty sweet… but if she is Medusa that means this guy will never have any friends besides her.

This is strangely cute. I like it!

that snake with the excited eyes in the back omg

this is snek

@PonyPon  

 
well obviously, but having to not look at her kinda ruins things.

@Blissey1  
I’m guessing the logic is no, as long as you can’t see her.

This is a cool one. I like her colours, the guy as well.

the question is, can she petrify you?
