The Gorgon is an advanced strain of Ignilisk, utilized by its namesake brood within the Dark Swarm.
Overview[]
The Gorgon is even tougher and more heavily armored then the Ignilisk, and its high-speed regeneration ability extends to when it remains above ground as well. If this was not enough, the Gorgon possesses a lethal poison in its fangs, making melee combat even less tempting.
The Gorgon possesses a tougher carapace that contains its internal heat signatures, making it cool to the touch and therefore not liable to explode on contact with flamable materials. However, it secretes a deadly contact poison over its shell, deterring enemies from physical contact.
