The Basilisk is a huge, eight-legged reptile which prefers to live in warm or underground places. It is a creature of Chaos, originating from the very first Incursions of Chaos, and is now well-established in the Old World, if not common. Basilisks are extremely dangerous beasts, whose gaze can petrify living creatures. The petrifying effect has a range of 10 yards and can affect a single creature per round. The victim must make a Magic test or be turned to stone instantly. The effect is permanent. In addition to their gaze attack, Basilisks attack with two claws and one bite.
