Medusa was a harsh, unwelcoming planet inhabitated by a tough and stoic people. Ferrus would not join these tribes, as many of his brothers did. Rather he would seek out physical challenges, to make himself stronger and more resilient. These tests ended with his battle against [[Asirnoth]], the Great Silver Wyrm, a metallic beast impervious to harm and Ferrus had to drown it in magma to kill. The melted flesh of the worm wyrm fused into Ferrus' flesh, giving him the true metal hands his Legion would take its name from.
