Ghilc

Countless black snakes with deep red eyes grow from Azami's head as her hair, which is a typical feature of a gorgon. These snakes, however, are intelligent creatures on their own, the most intelligent one being the Snake of Clearing Eyes, which is the snake that gave Azami the idea of the Heat Haze Daze in a dream she had. As Shion and Marry were murdered by humans and swallowed by the Heat Haze Daze, Azami gave Marry the Queen Snake, which is able to control all the other snakes, so she would be able to make it out again. The loss of their queen Snake enraged the snakes enough to make them overthrow Azami under the lead of the Snake of Clearing Eyes, as she was no longer able to control the never ending world without it. Since the Queen Snake would now live in the real world, the snakes planned to possess the bodies of humans who entered the Heat Haze Daze, in order to follow their queen and create a new medusa/gorgon in the outside world.[3]

There are several named snakes in the series, who possessed the bodies of humans:

Queen Snake / Snake of Combining Eyes: Marry Kozakura

Snake of Concealing Eyes: Tsubomi Kido

Snake of Stealing Eyes: Kousuke Seto

Snake of Deceiving Eyes: Shuuya Kano

Snake of Captivating Eyes: Momo Kisaragi

Snake of Opening Eyes: Takane "Ene" Enomoto

Snake of Focusing Eyes: Hibiya Amamiya

Snake of Awakening Eyes: Haruka "Konoha" Kokonose

Snake of Clearing Eyes: Kenjirou Tateyama, Black Konoha, Hiyori Asahina[4]

Snake of Favoring Eyes: Ayano Tateyama

Snake of Retaining Eyes: Shintaro Kisaragi

Although the Snake of Staring Eyes has been shown to give Azami the ability to turn people into stone, it did not possess Shion nor Marry to make it possible for them to use similar abilities, as Shion could turn people into stone (although requiring too much energy for her to handle) and Marry can temporarily paralyze anyone who looks into her eyes.
