Trampling Charge. If the gorgon moves at least 20 feet straight
toward a creature and then hits it with a gore attack on the
same turn, that target must succeed on a DC 16 Strength
saving throw or be knocked prone. If the target is prone, the
gorgon can make one attack with its hooves against it as a
bonus action.

ACTIONS
Gore. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.
Hit: 18 (2d12 + 5) piercing damage.

Hooves. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.
Hit: 16 (2d10 + 5) bludgeoning damage.

Petrifying Breath (Recharge 5-6). The gorgon exhales
petrifying gas in a 30-foot cone. Each creature in that area
must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw. On a
failed save, a target begins to turn to stone and is restrained.
The restrained target must repeat the saving throw at the end
of its next turn. On a success, the effect ends on the target.
On a failure, the target is petrified until freed by the greater
restoration spell or other magic.


GORGON
Few creatures that encounter a gorgon live to tell about
it. Its body is covered in iron plates, a nd its nostrils fume
with green vapor.
Horrific Structure. A gorgon's iron plates range from
steely black to gleaming silver, but this natural armor
in no way hinders its movement or mobility. The oils of
its body lubricate the armor. A sick or inactive gorgon
gathers rust like fungus or mange. When a rusty gorgon
moves, its plates squeal as they rub together.
Monstrous Predator. When a gorgon spots potential
prey, it charges with a hideous clamor of metal on
metal. Whe n the gorgon hits, it pulverizes the foe and
sends its sprawling, then tramples it to death with its
cruel hooves. Faced with multiple foes, the gorgon
exhales its deadly vapor to overcome the creatures
it touches by turning them to s tone. When it grows
hungry, it smashes its petrifie d prey to rubble and uses
its strong teeth to grind th e stone into a powder that
provides nourishment. The crisscrossing network of
trampled trails and splintered trees that surrounds a
gorgon lair is strewn with the uneaten fragments of its
s hattered foes.
