The Basilisk (Latin Basiliscus, Basilisc, plural Basilisci, also Basilicok, Greek: Basiliskos plural: Basiliskoi) appeared in various forms throughout history. It started off as a small, crowned snake being able to kill with its lethal poison and evil gaze. The poison was so lethal, it left a wide trail of venom in its wake. Despite its cruel nature, it still represents power (and sometimes that of Hell in Christian mythology), thus it became the guardian creature and the traditional symbol of t
