  • Anastasis Stheno Gorgon - Eldest of the Three Gorgon Sisters goddesses, she is a crocodile goddess and possesses manipulation of her body's regeneration rate in addition to having superior strength on par with the oni.
  • Biotopos Euryale Gorgon - Centermost of the Three Gorgon Sisters goddesses, she is a turtle goddess and possesses manipulation of life force (via mist, she can suppress and amplify life force) along with wielding impressively frustrating defenses.
