Euryale (Serena Grandi) is a Gorgon in the 1985 film "The Adventures of Hercules II", which is the sequel to the 1983 film "Hercules".

Euryale is dressed in a long blue gown and flowing cape. She has a gold grown that encircles her brunette hair that is up around the top of her head. Each of her fingers has gold extensions that come to a point.

Hercules (Lou Ferrigno) and his two traveling companions, Urania (Milly Carlucci) and Glaucia (Sonia Viviani) enter a cave where they meet Euryale. Urania and Glaucia are sisters, who are trying to retrieve Zeus' Seven Mighty Thunderbolts that keep the peace. The lack of these thunderbolts has rendered Zeus powerless and has sent the Moon on a collision course with Earth.

At first, it appears that Euryale intends to lead her guests through the cave and help them. However, they are being deceived.

The cave is full of stone statues and Hercules and the sisters battle some more monsters, while Euryale walks away and reveals herself to be a snake-haired, half-woman, half-scorpion Goron.

Using his shield as a mirror, Hercules avoids getting turned into stone and manages to decapitate Euryale. After doing this he retrieves the second thunderbolt, which her corpse has revealed.
