Description:
	A basilisk is a dragon-like creature with 8 legs. It is usually dull
	brown in color with a yellowish underbelly. Its eyes glow pale green.
	This monster is typically used to guard a treasure. These reptilian
	monsters all posses a gaze that enables them to turn any fleshy crea-
	ture to stone.

Combat:
	While it has strong, toothy jaws, the basilisk's major weapon is its
	gaze. However, if its gaze is reflected, and sees its own eyes, it will
	become petrified itself, but this requires light at least equal to
	bright torchlight and a good, smooth reflector.
