'''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."{{-}}<sup>[[Restoration of Erathia Manual Page 94|RoE manual]]''</sup>

== Special Ability: Death Stare ==
Death Stare gives Mighty Gorgons a chance to instantly kill one or more [[living]] units in the enemy stack after the Mighty Gorgons attack or retaliate.
* This chance is 10% per Mighty Gorgon in the stack, and is ''not'' cumulative. This means that, even with 20 or 30 Mighty Gorgons, there is a small chance that Death Stare does not activate after an attack.
* Death Stare will always kill the topmost unit(s) in the stack, meaning that if the enemy stack survives after Death Stare occurs, the new topmost unit will always have full Health.
* Death Stare cannot kill more enemies than are equal to 10% of the number of Mighty Gorgons in a stack (rounded up). For example:
** 1—10 Mighty Gorgons '''may''' kill 0—1 enemy units with Death Stare
** 11—20 Mighty Gorgons '''may''' kill 0—2 enemy units with Death Stare
** 21—30 Mighty Gorgons '''may''' kill 0—3 enemy units with Death Stare

Takeaway: It is '''very''' important for the number of Mighty Gorgons to get to a new '10 + 1'. Remember this when splitting Mighty Gorgons into multiple stacks or targeting enemy Mighty Gorgons.

{{Fanopinion|
Mighty Gorgons are among the best level 5 creatures in the game, and certainly one of the highlights of the Fortress town. They can defend your [[Ranged attackers]], or with a [[prayer]] or [[haste]] or even a [[cape of velocity]] can go for blow with creatures far stronger than them because of their good defense stat, high health and incredibly effective death stare ability. Ideal strategy is to get them on the strongest [[troop stack]] possible ([[Archangel]]s, [[Titan]]s, etc.) and watch them level opponents far stronger in stats.

Because of how death stare is capped, it's best to separate Mighty Gorgons in stacks of 11, 21, 31 etc. or at least 12, 22, 32 etc. whenever possible, rather then even multiples of 10.  Generally, a stack of 10N+1 Mighty Gorgons has an about 30%-40% chance of killing N+1 enemies with the death stare, while for 10N Mighty Gorgons it's obviously impossible.

Mighty Gorgons are possibly the creatures to whom [[Berserk]] is more harmful than to any others. It is a pure disaster, since they will kill their allies via death stare, during both their own attack and retaliation.
