The creatures that grew out of medusa's head were snakes.
Medusa is a figure from Greek mythology, and her name is derived from the Greek word "medousa," meaning "guardian" or "protectress." In myth, she is one of the three Gorgon sisters, often depicted as a monster with snakes for hair, and is best known for her ability to turn people to stone with her gaze. Medusa was originally a beautiful maiden, and her transformation into a Gorgon was a punishment from the goddess Athena.
The three Gorgones were depicted in ancient Greek vase painting and sculpture as winged women with broad round heads, serpentine locks of hair, large staring eyes, wide mouths, the tusks of swine, lolling tongues, flared nostrils, and sometimes short coarse beards. Medousa was humanised in late classical art with the face of a beautiful woman. In mosaic art her full face was wreathed around with coiling snakes and adorned with a pair of small wings sprouting from the brow.
