Coral

Coral, also known as The Medusoid, or Gorgon, is an antagonist in The Zoo first seen in Rogue Observer. Originally from the enigmatic Riot Club region of the Underground, they come from a background of wealth and means. Additionally, Coral is exceptionally beautiful and was a famous model for outlets in The Studio as well as an advocate for L*IMAH's education programs. They are the victim of vile experimentation by Tycho and are subsequently transformed by otherworldly technology. Before the events of Rogue Observer they were a Darwin with no adaptations. They are later experimented on by Tycho the Psycho under orders from PT Ben and subsequently uses three prehensile tentacle-like legs to move.

Events of Rogue Observer
Coral is first discovered by Tiris and Poet on video recordings found in the secret lab. They learn that kidnapped individuals have been 'fed' to Coral (or the extra-dimensional beast acting as parasite to them). It is clear that Coral undergoes immeasurable pain during this period. These sacrifices lead to Coral's transformation into The Medusoid (referred to as the Gorgon by Henri), a beast of dozens of metallic tentacles that invade from an Einstein-Rosen Bridge at Coral's midriff.

The Medusoid invades The Basement under the control of Tycho, with Coral acting as a host or puppet. Dozens are killed before Henri and others are able to subdue Tycho, releasing Coral and allowing her escape. Before she leaves she reveals Tycho's name to Henri.

Physical Appearance
Coral has an attractive feminine appearance, wearing their hair long and black, seen often in a flattering red dress with expensive jewelry.
