	A '''Basilisk''' is a mythological creature, always described as reptilian and deadly. Its name comes from Greek phrase for "little king," and was considered to be lord of all serpents. The first recorded mention of a basilisk described it as a snake about twelve fingers long (~5"-28" long, depending on the size of your hands and how you orient your finger), and it was so venomous that it would kill plants just by passing by (back then people assumed snakes poisoned victims via their breath rather than any sort of fluid injection, no really. To be fair, some snakes can [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_mamba spit their venom]), and it would kill you just by looking at you. You were supposed to kill it with weasel musk -- I'm not joking.

	The modern-day "green basilisk" or "plumed basilisk" is a little lizard that can run across the surface of water like wire-fu ninjas do, or reptile Jesus, or Remo Williams, or that movie "American Ninja."

	Somewhere along the way, the basilisk's ability to kill with its gaze was "clarified" to mean that anyone who locked eyes with it would be turned to stone (maybe through conflation with [[Medusa]]'s similar ability), and thus we have the modern image of the basilisk.

	Since a lizard whose mere presence and gaze are deadly makes for a great hazard to [[adventurer]]s, every edition of [[Dungeons & Dragons]] since the beginning has featured basilisks as enemies. The D&D basilisk is unique in its appearance, which is a rather crocodilian reptile with ~~about six or~~ eight legs.

	It's generally accepted that basilisks are related to [[cockatrice]]s, which are usually depicted as some hybrid of snake or dragon and chicken; a cockatrice happens when a rooster's egg is hatched under a toad or snake, whilst a basilisk is created by hatching a snake's egg under a hen (medieval Europeans had some pretty weird assumptions about nature).

These weapons are kept secret for obvious reasons -- depending on your campaign setting, viewing a thumbnail or a selection of a basilisk image could have no effect whatsoever, or it could cause someone to go into seizures.
