'''Basilisks''' are large horned lizards that appear as enemies in several ''[[Final Fantasy (franchise)|Final Fantasy]]'' games, and their first appearance is in ''[[Final Fantasy]]''. Basilisk are a stronger variant of [[Lizard]]s, but usually have the [[Gaze]] ability, allowing them to [[petrify]] their target.

Basilisks share a name with a {{wp|basilisk|real-world reptile}} of the same name. Their ability to petrify others is derived from mythology, in which a person would be instantly petrified or killed if they glance at a basilisk.

==History==
===''Final Fantasy'' series===
====''Final Fantasy''====
In ''Final Fantasy'', Basilisks are mainly encountered on the [[Cardian Islands]] and the [[Citadel of Trials]]'s surrounding area. Basilisks are rarely encountered on floor B1 of [[Chaos Shrine]] in the past. In the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] release, they are named '''SAURIA''', a name attributed to a {{wp|clade}} of reptiles such as crocodiles and lizards.

Basilisks look very similar to Lizards except their body is green.

====''Final Fantasy II''====
In ''[[Final Fantasy II]]'', Basilisks are encountered in [[Mysidian Tower]] (floors 2F-9F) and the [[Arcane Labyrinth]]'s Wyverns area. Basilisks have higher stats than in ''Final Fantasy'', and have the Gaze V ability ([[level]] 5).

Like their relatives, Basilisks were redesigned as horned lizards with bulging eyes, which is especially evident in their artwork. Basilisks still have a green body like in ''Final Fantasy''.
