'''Petrify''' (also '''Paralyze''') is special ability of [[Basilisk and Greater Basilisk|basilisks]], [[Medusa and Medusa Queen|medusas]] and [[Scorpicore]]s. It causes enemy to freeze, and unable to move or attack for three combat rounds if not attacked. Attacking a petrified creature cases petrify to lapse, but the attack only does 50% of its damage. The visual effect for basilisks' and medusas' petrify is the same, a stoned creature. Visual effect of Scorpicores is a bit similar to [[Dendroid Guard and Dendroid Soldier|dendroids]] [[binding]], a bunch of vines appearing from the ground. Petrification can be removed with [[Cure]] or [[Dispel]].
The '''Petrifying attack''' of [[Basilisk and Greater Basilisk|Basilisks and Greater Basilisks]] and the '''Stone gaze''' of [[Medusa and Medusa Queen|Medusas and Medusa Queens]] are special abilities with identical effects. Immediately after a [[melee]] attack from a Medusas or Basilisk, there is a 20% change that the effect is triggered. If so, the defending unit completely skips its turn for the remainder of the current combat round and the two combat rounds thereafter. The effect is cancelled when the affected unit is attacked. Units that are petrified or turned to stone receive only 50% damage from [[melee]] and [[ranged attack]]s, but retaliate at full strength. The effect can be removed with [[Cure]] or [[Dispel]].

The Petrifying attack of Basilisks and Greater Basilisks and the Stone gaze of Medusas and Medusa Queens are special abilities with identical effects. Immediately after a melee attack from a Medusas or Basilisk, there is a 20% change that the effect is triggered. If so, the defending unit completely skips its turn for the remainder of the current combat round and the two combat rounds thereafter. The effect is cancelled when the affected unit is attacked. Units that are petrified or turned to stone receive only 50% damage from melee and ranged attacks, but retaliate at full strength. The effect can be removed with Cure or Dispel.
