In the game the term stone gaze is referred in the medusas' description. The effect of both abilities are indentical.


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. A target surviving a [[melee]] attack from a Medusa or Basilisk has a 20% of being petrified immediately after. Petrified creatures forgo their turn for the remainder of the current combat round and the two combat rounds thereafter, unless they are attacked meanwhile. If so, they receive only 50% damage from [[melee]] and [[ranged attack]]s, but retaliate at full strength. The effect can be removed with [[Cure]] or [[Dispel]]. Petrifying attacks are negated by the [[Recanter's Cloak]] and [[Cursed Ground]], but not by the [[Orb of Inhibition]].
Medusas' and basilisks' the petryfying attack may occur after they have attacked or [[retaliation|retaliated]] target creature stack. The chance of petrifying the target is 20%. If medusas or basilisks petrify while they attack, the target will not have a chance to retaliate. Petrification can be removed the [[Cure]] or [[Dispel]] spell. Otherwise it will last for 3 combat rounds or until the petrified stack is attacked. When a petrified troop is attacked it takes half damage (both melee and ranged attacks) and retaliates at full strength.


Petrifying attacks are negated by the [[Recanter's Cloak]] and [[Cursed Ground]], but not by the [[Orb of Inhibition]].
