Gorgons and Mighty Gorgons are the level 5 creatures of Fortress. They are recruited from the Gorgon Lair.

"The sturdy gorgons attack with their acidic breath. The Mighty Gorgon has a death stare with a 10% chance per attack of killing 1 creature in a troop outright per 10 Mighty Gorgons." RoE manual

Special Ability: Death Stare[edit | hide]

Mighty Gorgons have a special ability death stare, which may occur after the stack has attacked, including retaliations. When the stack attacks, the successful death stare occurs before the enemy has a chance to retaliate. Every gorgon in the stack has 10% chance to cause death stare. Successful stare instantly kills the 'top' unit of a stack, leaving the new 'top' unit with full health. The stare cannot kill more enemies than 1/10th of the number of Mighty Gorgons in a stack rounded up. In other words, the stare of 1–10 Mighty Gorgons may only kill one enemy, while a stack of 11 might kill two.

Unlike most "magic" abilities, this works on Black Dragons, but not on the undead and the unliving (such as golems and elementals).

Calculation[edit | hide]

PR% = 1 - 0.90^N

PR% = Chance to kill at least one enemy creatures

N   = Number of Mighty Gorgons in a stack

Creatures immune to death stare:

Elementals:


Undead:


Gargoyles:


Golems:
