One or two days after the act, the female would lay one to eight greenish-white eggs, each about the size of a human's fist, which the mother would then half-bury in cool sand or mud. [10] In Andrew And The Alchemist by Barbara Ninde Byfield, basilisk blood is one of the components to create the Philosopher's Stone. It's revealed near the end of the book that the alchemist kept one of the basilisks he raised, which is now very old and spends most of its time hibernating in a dark corner of his cellar. The book doesn't give a physical description, since the only person who gets a good look at it is the villain, and he isn't in any condition afterward to describe it. Elden Ring keeps the basilisks from Dark Souls, but slightly alters their design to more closely resemble Godwin, Prince of Death. They keep their ability to inflict the instant death status effect, which in this game is called "Death Blight" and has a more plant/fungal feel to it. In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry's battle with the Basilisk has considerable parallels to the tales of the Edda concerning Thor's battle with Jörmungandr at Ragnarök, from the significance of the beast's release to the retributive poisoning it unleashes on him in its death throes. The Sword of Gryffindor was "impregnated with basilisk venom," which is why it could destroy Horcruxes ( DH15).

Basilisks instinctively avoided looking directly at others of their kind, but were able to recognize them using hearing and a sense of smell that was capable of differentiating between individual basilisks. Basilisks were mature enough to breed at the age of only nine months. Once they had found a mate, the pair would find a body of water to breed in (the water helped support their body weight), then both travelled to the lair of one of the pair. [11] share the bounty on the basilisk with you. However, Count di Salvaress appears again and promises to match the fee himself in exchange for letting Iocaste live. The reavers only care about the gold and don't mind either way, so it's your call and you have a timed choice to make. Despite written physical descriptions and imagery, it appears Basilisks can grow horns (like its distant American relative the Horned Serpent; but seems to have shared a trait with European horned serpents of mythology, i.e. Cernunnos).

Step by step guide to taming a basilisk. If one option is unavailable to you due to your level, move on to the next one. Keep in mind that a CR monstosity isn't likely to make a safe pet, or a good one, but hell let's give it a good go!

Because Pate receives the gold (bites down on it), gives the key, asks to see the face, and is granted his request, and then starts to walk away. They are in an alley, and he tells he is halfway down the alley when it all goes wrong.

century Vilnius University historian Professor Adomas Ignacas Naramovskis (Adam Ignacy Naramowski) wrote of the basilisks that were said to have lived in Warsaw and Vilnius in his book Facies rerum Sarmaticarum. [13] Romantic historian Teodoras Narbutas ( Teodor Narbutt) describes the location of the Vilnius basilisk's lair as having been near Subačius Gate. Final Fantasy X's basilisks are huge snakes with arms who can induce Petrification on the party. Running into them is often the player's first experience with the Non Standard Game Over when all active characters are petrified. Green basilisk (Basiliscus plumiforms) or Jesus Christ lizard. This impressive lizard can run over water! This one takes a rest. Due to their ability to run on water, the basilisk lizard is sometimes referred to as the Jesus lizard, referencing the story of Jesus Christ walking on water in the Bible.

Some small dinosaurs fit the imagery of this concept, being creatures with features of both birds and reptiles—most notably, we have Velociraptor and Yi qi (the latter fits even better, as it may have had batlike wings). The Ambopteryx, discovered in the late 2010s, also had bat-like wings. Golden Oriole potion - this isn't a weakness for the basilisk per se, but it will grant Geralt temporary immunity to poison. It also neutralizes any active poisons. Its toxicity level is 20, and it lasts for 60 seconds.

The novels have at different points said that both "basilisk venom" and "basilisk blood" are poisonous: they might simply both be toxic. In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry watches the Basilisk by its shadow on the floor. The basilisk lizard is a worthy predator, feeding primarily on insects. To catch them, the lizard seeks out prey in trees or even in the air.

Ology Series: Both are mentioned in Dragonology and Monsterology as species of pseduodragons, a term used in the books for creatures related or similar to dragons but that aren't classified among them for whatever reason. After returning to Meereen, Daario Naharis tells Daenerys Targaryen that among the turncloaks who have come over to her side is an axeman from the Basilisk Isles, a brute bigger than Strong Belwas. [10] Basilisks are notable for three things: being incredibly deadly, having some form of shapeshifting ability, and these being the only concrete things anybody known about them, since people tend not to survive encounters with them. Long Distance Transport: The Basilisk has one of the highest base carrying capacities of all non- Titanosaur creatures, being only beaten by the Gasbags which has a base carry weight of 3000 and the Megachelon which can level its weight to ridiculous amounts. While the Basilisk's base Speed is on par with the Giganotosaurus the Basilisk's carrying capacity is more than 3x the Giga's making it the best in long distance transport, its Stamina is decent to good, and if levels are pumped into speed, the Basilisk can become faster than most creatures in the game. The Basilisk can even travel underground with a rider; press Space to burrow underground (or come up from below, though this happens automatically when stamina runs out); note that the rider will be running out of Oxygen as if underwater while underground. It also has the added benefit of 75% Weight reduction on Stone. As long as vertical terrain and water can be avoided, the Basilisks makes one of the best transporters in the game. Genesis mission brute hunter: The Basilisk is highly useful as a hunter mount for Genesis hunt missions. Its high hp, decent speed and high damage allow it to take on most of the brute creatures that the missions require you to kill. Given the proper terrain, you can position yourself at a spot where you can be reached, but still within range to spit poison at enemies. This works exceptionally well considering the Basilisk's poison spit does not receive a damage reduction on alpha level missions

It is unaligned, but also a monstrosity, so the best system would be to cast Dominate Monster on it and treat it very kindly. Have it gently interact with you while you pamper it and speak with it. Try giving it it a little more autonomy as time goes on if it's going well. Make sure that it's immediate needs are met, especially food. Continue this until the creature begins to consider you a source for food and comfort rather than as comfort food.Meluzzi, Chiara (30 September 2017). "Diminutives in Ancient Greek".

A basilisk is said to have terrorised the inhabitants of Vilnius, Lithuania during the reign of King of Poland and Grand Duke Sigismund August. In his book Facies rerum Sarmaticarum, [13] 17th century Vilnius University historian Professor Adam Ignacy Naramowski describes how boughs of rue, a plant believed to have the power to repel basilisks, were lowered into the creature's lair. The first two boughs lowered into the lair turned white, indicating that the creature remained alive, but the third bough retained its characteristic green colour, indicating the basilisk had been killed. Nineteenth-century historian Teodoras Narbutas ( Teodor Narbutt) claimed the location of the creature's lair had been at the intersection of Bokšto, Subačiaus, and Bastėjos streets, near Subačius Gate. Legend has it the basilisk haunts the bastion of the city wall located there.

If your Basilisk's poison breath kills a dinosaur after you dismount, the system will state that the dinosaur was killed by you, and not your mount.
