i do actually like d&d but the idea that a gorgon is called a "medusa" and there's another monster called a "gorgon" that's totally different, it bugs me

explanation of possibly why d&d calls it that 

@pan there's another mythological creature often called catoblepas that was also (at least in like, renaissance-era European writing about it) called gorgons. and that "gorgon" was described as a bull-like thing
