It gains defender and becomes a colorless artifact in addition to its other types. Its activated abilities can't be activated. (A creature with defender can't attack.)

    Activated abilities contain a colon. They’re generally written “[Cost]: [Effect].” Some keywords are activated abilities and will have colons in their reminder text.

    The effects of Xathrid Gorgon’s ability don’t depend on the petrification counter. If that counter is removed, the creature remains a colorless artifact with defender, and so on.
