Basilisks are dangerous and violent human-sized dinosaur-like creatures with an extra set of limbs, feathers covering parts of their limbs as well as the crown of their head. They can run on all six or stand upright, using two sets of limbs as arms, and even are capable of traveling on water. Basilisks can be found in any untamed land, and although they have been known to attack individuals in villages, or even ransack the entire village if they're powerful enough.

Basilisks tend to be hunt alone, although it is not rare for them to share a den with a small group when resting. Their combat is more sophisticated than most animals, capable of taking even an experienced melee fighter off-guard. In addition, their tears and saliva are extremely corrosive, so even when the basilisk's prey escapes, it knows it's just a matter of time before they succumb to their wounds.

Basilisks are incredibly strong and capable of defeating even wild drakes in combat, but they can also be intelligent and stealthy. They are relentless and not known to fully retreat from a combat, but a common tactic they practice to pull away when a head-on approach is not working and try to strike again later when their prey is as a disadvantage. They can change color to aid their concealment, or remove a limb and use it as a distraction to lure towards or away from something. As such, they can be a major threat to anything that catches their sights.
