Medusa
The two body forms of cnidarians are the polyp and the medusa. Polyps are typically sessile, tube-shaped organisms attached to a substrate, while medusae are free-swimming, umbrella-shaped organisms.
It was the body of a young woman but with scales on it talons for hands.
Also, Medusa was pregnant before Athena changed her. So when Perseus chopped off the neck of Medusa, Pegasus and Crysaor escaped from the body as Poseidon's and Medusa's children. I feel sorry for Medusa, being raped!
Athena cursed Medusa because she was in Athena's temple, worshiping her, when Poseidon came. Posiedon raped Medusa and Athena got jealous. So she gave Medusa reptilian hair and a scaly dragon body along with her two sisters.
