Word Definition: Basilisk

Exceptional [mythical] creature, so deadly that inhaling its breath is lethal. It resembles the Cockatrice differing in that it has two heads. The second at the extremity of its tail. It is occasionally referred to instead as an Amphisien Cockatrice (or simply Amphisien) due to this extra head and resemblance to the Cockatrice.

The only way to kill this creature is to show it its own reflection.
