Petrifying Gaze. If a creature starts its turn within 30 feet of the basilisk and the two of them can see each other, the basilisk can force the creature to make a DC 14 Constitution saving throw if the basilisk isn't incapacitated. On a failed save, the creature magically begins to turn to stone and is restrained. It must repeat the saving throw at the end of its next turn. On a success, the effect ends. On a failure, the creature is petrified until freed by the greater restoration spell or other magic.
A creature that isn't surprised can avert its eyes to avoid the saving throw at the start of its turn. If it does so, it can't see the basilisk until the start of its next turn, when it can avert its eyes again. If it looks at the basilisk in the meantime, it must immediately make the save.
If the basilisk sees its reflection within 30 feet of it in bright light, it mistakes itself for a rival and targets itself with its gaze.

ACTIONS

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 17 (2d12 + 4) piercing damage and 7 (2d6) poison damage.

Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d6 + 4) slashing damage.

Poison Breath (Recharge 6). The basilisk exhales bright blue gas in a 15-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 14 Constitution saving throw, taking 14 (4d6) poison damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one. Each petrified creature in that area attacks one creature within 5 feet of it chosen by the basilisk, with a +5 bonus to hit and dealing 4 (1d8) bludgeoning damage on a hit.


Sometimes a basilisk will mate with a dragon. Their offspring are known as basilisk dragons. Basilisk dragons look like basilisks and keep all basilisk abilities but also gain wings, a breath weapon and a dragon’s massive size.
