The Medusa was a predator alien species. The Fourth Doctor described them as vile. A Medusa was able to quantum-lock a person, making them petrified.

People who had been petrified were, however, still alive, frozen in time, preserved, so the Medusa could feed on their life energy for years, centuries, even. When the Medusa was done feeding, the petrified person turned to dust. The Medusa were trapped on Earth. (COMIC: Gaze of the Medusa)
Biology
The Medusa looked like a humanoid-snake hybrid. She had dark, green scaly skin, black hair, sharp claws, a large jaw and a massive tail instead of a pair of legs.
Powers and abilities
The Medusa was capable of quantum locking. However, unlike the Weeping Angels who used this as a defense mechanism to petrify themselves, the Medusa quantum locked her prey. This was accomplished by emitting a beam of blue light from her eyes. Anything caught in its path was turned to stone. In this state, they were immune to the effects of time and were preserved indefinitely but were also helpless.
