The dreaded Basilisk! A terrifying snake-like creature with a poisonous bite and deadly stare! In some mythologies, the Basilisk has short legs while others depict it as a straight snake. The stare also has differences among the myths as some claim its stare can turn a victim to stone, much like a Gorgon, while others claim it merely paralyses a victim. Either way, I think we can all be thankful this critter doesn't currently exist. People have a hard enough time leaving regular snakes be, let alone giant ones that can kill you by merely making eye contact!
And that's all for this particular week! Be sure to come back next time to see a figurative horse of another color! Until then, take care and I'll catch y'all later!
