Medusa is a boss in Final Fantasy III fought atop the Tower of Owen. She was sent by Xande to destroy the tower and send the Floating Continent crashing into the ocean of the Surface World. Interestingly, while many enemies change a little bit from game to game, this Medusa looks remarkably different than the ones from Final Fantasy I and Final Fantasy IV appearing as a giant red head with snakes as hair and two tentacles; basically a red Medusa head.
