The Medusa may also be understood as a jellyfish by some people. In French both Medusa, the Greek monster, and jellyfish are called "méduse". Of course, the name of the animal comes from the mythological name.

For representing that piece in Musketeer Board Painter Tool I use their icon of a jellyfish.

Interesting also to note that Medusa was one of the three Gorgons in the Greek mythology. So, there is a bit of something weird in having both Medusa and Gorgona. I don't know who made those icons looking like targets.

I am not sure that the word "gorgona" exists in English, does it?
