Description

I can see the end from here!
And talking about seeing, this page is about those reptilian creature, excluding gorgons, that can kill with a glance ... or with some other mean about as lethal. If you think about it ... if seeing this creatures could be lethal, how they were supposed to be descrived? Ok, maybe thats why the desrciptions are always so different. I think that originally the cockatrice and the basilisk were the same creature, and went "mutating" with each story told into their many shapes.

952) Coil's eye: Death is delivered through its sight. But it could be some symbolical sight of an eye that is not real. I designed this snake to look like an eye when curled in a special way with the fangs on the center.

953) Dermotrice: Like an ungly combination of a toad, a snake and some cock and bat characteristics. Cockatrices were supposedly been born from an egg laid by a cock (I never EVER heard anyone complaining about the little biological problem there), fecundated by a snake and incubated by a toad. Or some other weir combination with those animals. Even then I have no clue why sometimes they have bat wings.

954) Cockatrice: I've been always reluctant of using correcly spelled names of already existing, well known mythologycal creatures. But this one in particular is more of a personal interpretation of the creature than an invented creature on its own right.

955) Stone guardian: In some other versions, the cockatrice has a petrifying gaze, and... I have no clue why I am telling you this. I actually based this creature on a wierd old sculpture of some guardian cockatrice-like humanoid and I thought; you know, stone, statues. Maybe they petrified each other. -_-

956) Cockatrisaurus: What do you get when you cross a bird and a reptile? Thats right, a dinosaur, as simple as that. Still, I've never seen a single cockatrice with a clear dinosauresque innuendo.

957) Little King: Pliny the Elder said "being not more than twelve fingers in length"... well its not that small, I mean, I made this particular basilisk to look like, really small, I don't know 5cm?
The point is that the size of the basilisk is almost always exagerated, like if it had to give a fight or anything. People it doesn't need to, It can kill you with a glance!

958) Endocular basilisk: Then they started using many legs on basilisk, based on this drawing by Ulisse Aldrovandi, I don't knwo.
The confussion of whether if the sight of this creature is what it kills or if its its breath or something might come from some characteristic of the real creature... If it would be real at all. I solved that dilema by placing its eyes inside the mouth.

959) Regulus: According to some medieval bestiary version I read, the basilisk could set ablaza the birds in the sky. But then again, the description gets a little confusing there. I just placed some fire glands under its eyes for everyone to be happy. I guess it would work much like a horned lizard, but shooting fire instead of blood.

960) Lasertrice. Maybe it was the way it instantly killed its prey when facing its head to it what made people think it was it sight what killed. Maybe it was just able to shoot laser out of its mouth, what would also solve the fire thing too. Lasers, lasers solve everything, tell me one thing they cannot do.
