Some of the mythology has vampires gorgonizing their victims.

I guess deer in the headlights is another gorgonian effect.

And, no, Gorgon is Not related to Emile. Cheesy joke, I know.

Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.

And then there are gorgonians, colorful soft corals that are considered desirable additions to fish tanks. (But I'd rather enjoy them while snorkeling above a reef.)
