Basilisk

Some theories about the basilisk.

 1. The Basilisk is a creature made by experimental mages on the Edron isle. Although it could happen, the records of the Basilisk in Kazordoon date back to incidents before Edron was known for its mage towers.

2. The Basilisk was created by Verminor the plaquelord to torment the dwarves due to reasons unknown.

3. Since the Basilisk is known as a snake, it could be a creature made from the goddess of the seas, Bastesh, since she was the creator of snakes to begin with.

In any case, the Basilisk was able to get into Kazordoon by following the underground river thats between Cormaya and Kazordoon and into the mines. In a deep part of the mines, it made its lair, but was later discovered by dwarven miners who destroyed that part of the mine, thus imprisoning the Basilisk.

Although its fighting abilities are unknown, it is believed that it has a stone gaze, or at least a gaze that can paralyze. It is also believed it has a very strong poison.
