The Viperine Gorgon costume is a popular Monster High costume, especially for women and little girls. It features the character Viperine Gorgon from the Monster High series of books and movies. Viperine is a gorgon, like Medusa, from Barcelgroana, Spain (a pun on Barcelona, Spain). Despite this she is not actually Medusa's child, but instead is the offspring of Medusa's older sister, Stheno. An energetic girly-girl, she is Elissabat's personal makeup artist and is also a movie star.
