Greater Basilisk

Basilisks are exceptionally dangerous, eight-legged reptilians. They kill their enemies with their petrifying gaze, making Potions of Mirrored Eyes a necessity when fighting them, as a single basilisk can easily wipe out even a mid- to high-level party very quickly. They come in two varieties: greater and lesser basilisks, with the former being a ruddy brown while the latter is a pale greenish-yellow. Both types have dark bands around the tail.
