Basilisk



Basilisks are an enemy first encountered in the Land of Wind and Shade. They possess a long snake-like body with three sets of limbs, as well as a distinctive long tongue. Like the Imps, they seem to possess varying costumes. They are also able to breathe fire.

Two other varieties of Basilisk are seen situated in the foyer of Jade's house. They are colored grey and green, suggesting different kinds of Grist.

Interestingly, the original Basilisks that John fought were about twice as big as the ones found on LOHAC and LOTAM. This was probably because Andrew forgot how big they were meant to be.

Tar Basilisks
Tar Basilisks are an enemy found in the Land of Wind and Shade. They are first seen when they attack a small village on the land, along with a Copper Giclops.



John struggles against these foes, demonstrating their power. At one point, he gets caught in the jaws of one of the creatures, until it and its companion are blasted apart by Grandpa.

They drop lots of tar when killed. They also appear to leave their heads behind, but this might be an effect of the Blunderbluss that slew them.

"Yellow" Basilisks
Found in the Land of Heat and Clockwork. Dave defeats several and picks up large amounts of Amber and Sulfur. Several of these have aquired working wings from Dave's prototyping. Presumably they are Amber Basilisks.
