The basilisk is a reptilian monster that is justly feared for its ability to petrify living creatures with a mere glance. Basilisks are omnivorous and able to consume their petrified victims. A basilisk usually has a dull brown body with a yellowish underbelly. A single row of bony spines lines its back, and some specimens sport a short, curved horn atop the nose. The creature's most distinctive feature is its eyes, which glow with an eerie, pale green incandescence.
