'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a [[Demon]] in the {{Link|Series|MTF-}}.

==Profile==
===Origin===
According to Pliny the Elder's ''Natural History'' (which draws upon earlier sources), the basilisk{{note|{{translit|la|basiliscus}} or ''{{lang|la|regulus}}''; {{translit|grc|βασιλίσκος|basilískos}}}} (meaning "little king" in Greek; cf. Latin ''{{lang|la|regulus}}'') is a serpent, no longer than twelve fingers, in the Cyrene region that possesses toxic breath able to kill both a horse and its rider; additionally, its venom is able to travel up a person's spear. It can be killed by a weasel, but the weasel will also die in the struggle. Like the [[catoblepas]], anyone who makes eye contact with the basilisk will die instantly.<ref>{{Cite Book|book=Natural History|passage=8.33|author=Pliny the Elder|lang=Latin}}</ref>

According to Aelian's ''On the Nature of Animals'', citing a certain Archelaus, the people of Libya would throw out dead or wounded mules, and snakes would come to eat their flesh; however, the snakes would retreat when hearing the hiss of the basilisk, and the basilisk would feast upon the mules undisturbed.<ref>{{Cite Book|book=On the Nature of Animals|passage=2.7|author=Aelian|lang=Greek}}</ref>

While originally a serpent, medieval folklore claimed that basilisks were born from an egg incubated by a cock, and several medieval and early modern depictions show it with some bodily features of a chicken as a result.

===Design===
[[File:Marcus Gheeraerts I - Fable of the basilisk and weasel.jpeg|thumb|left|150px|A basilisk and weasel, by Marcus Gheeraerts the Elder (1567)]]
In {{Link|Game|MT2}} and {{Link|Game|SMT1}}, Basilisk is portrayed as a monstrous rooster with a reptilian tail. This is the same base design used by [[Jabberwock]] and [[Cockatrice]], and resembles medieval and early modern depictions of the basilisk as a chicken-reptile hybrid rather than the classical description as a serpent.

Basilisk's design from {{Link|Game|DeSum}} is decidedly more reptilian and lizard-like, with black stripes along its golden body.

A snake or dragon said to inhabit the desert and possess a terrifying venom. Its name derives from a Greek word meaning "little king".

Because the Basilisk was feared for such a long period, from ancient Greece and Rome through the Middle Ages, its described forms vary widely.

Early accounts depicted it as a snake with a crown-like ornament on its head that spewed powerful venom, but by the Middle Ages, additional descriptions emerged, such as having four legs, a rooster's comb, wings, and the ability to kill creatures by gazing at them.

Basilisk appears in [[Holytown]], spewing poisonous breath throughout the area, so [[Aleph]] and [[Beth]] are charged with defeating it. While exploring, the demon repeatedly appears but runs away, occasionally poisoning Aleph and his party. Eventually, it stops running and fights the party for real, where it is ultimately defeated.

==={{Link|Game|DSRK2}}===
Basilisk appears in the "[[Cursed House]]" [[Case Files in Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon|Case File]], which asks [[Raidou]] to determine the cause of a [[Mannen-Cho]] tenant's illness. After investigating the back area around the tenant's row house, Raidou discovers with a [[Volt (Order)|Volt]]-order demon the giant tracks of a bird-like creature, and then proceeds to use a [[Frost (Order)|Frost]]-order demon to calm down the violent chicken in front of the house. Through doing this, the chicken reveals itself as a Basilisk, which declares the area its new home, uncaring that its poisonous breath will eventually kill the humans in the area. Raidou defeats the Basilisk, changing its mind and offering Raidou the choice between a heavy and light treasure crystal in exchange for his forgiveness. After Raidou chooses his preferred treasure, the Basilisk returns to the [[Dark Realm]], completing the Case File.

Basilisk appears in [[Holytown]], spewing poisonous breath throughout the area, so [[Aleph]] and [[Beth]] are charged with defeating it. While exploring, the demon repeatedly appears but runs away, occasionally poisoning Aleph and his party. Eventually, it stops running and fights the party for real, where it is ultimately defeated.

==={{Link|Game|DSRK2}}===
Basilisk appears in the "[[Cursed House]]" [[Case Files in Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon|Case File]], which asks [[Raidou]] to determine the cause of a [[Mannen-Cho]] tenant's illness. After investigating the back area around the tenant's row house, Raidou discovers with a [[Volt (Order)|Volt]]-order demon the giant tracks of a bird-like creature, and then proceeds to use a [[Frost (Order)|Frost]]-order demon to calm down the violent chicken in front of the house. Through doing this, the chicken reveals itself as a Basilisk, which declares the area its new home, uncaring that its poisonous breath will eventually kill the humans in the area. Raidou defeats the Basilisk, changing its mind and offering Raidou the choice between a heavy and light treasure crystal in exchange for his forgiveness. After Raidou chooses his preferred treasure, the Basilisk returns to the [[Dark Realm]], completing the Case File.
