Gorgons

The Gorgons are a race of Half snakes, originating from a temple on a secluded island, drowned out from view by  high rain forest. Ichirou has yet to learn the ruler of these Gorgons, but has met with several here as he works to sign their Kuchiyose contract.

Gorgons come in various types, depending on their skill level or particular skill set, though all of them are made of a human upper body and a snake lower body, though the snake tail of a lower body can be morphed into legs as well, depending on the particular gorgon in question.
