You may know a thing or two about basilisks, but this breed is different. It's worse. They creep about the swamp, looking for greater and greater things to petrify, to add to their statuary. It starts of small with wolves or a travelling peasant, but then they start adding more and bigger prey. Bears, entire caravans of people, Great Spiders, and the adventurers arrogant enough to hunt it down. What may be even worse, while other breeds may kill or petrify with but a look these are harmless unless they want to be. This doesn't sound too bad until you hear stories of the Serpent Queen, who claims to have trained them to be her loyal pets. Then, you have some trouble at hand. Instinct: To add trophies to it's statuary

• Breathe on flesh to turn it to stone
• Hypnotize a prey into apathy and submission
