Chapter 53: The Basilisk, hunting the big Lizard!

A basilisk is an eight-legged, fat, lizard-like monster that can grow to be more than 16 feet long. Their scales range from grey to blue, their backs are covered with red spiky scales as sharp as daggers.

Having a bite strength equal to crocodiles, with a tail strong enough to shatter bones, they are extremely dangerous. Their most terrifying weapon is their petrifying gaze! As long as the monster can look at you in the eyes, and as long as you're no further than 60 feet from it, you will get petrified!

The only saving grace while fighting one is that they are lazy, If you saw one and it didn't petrify you immediately, you could run away by just jogging the other side. The monster is too lazy to give chase!

Of course, like most lizards, they are cold-blooded and act like crocodiles in their day-to-day life. loving to sunbathe and stick to water.
