KhrysaorChrysaor

One of the many creatures born from the blood of Medusa when Perseus cut off her head.

There is no actual physical description of Khrysaor but he is usually assumed to be monstrous because his children were the three-headed Geryon and the snake-like monster, Ekhidna (Echidna); his name was derived from his golden sword, (Khyseos = golden and aor = sword).
