description: The basilisk is an eight-legged reptile with a nasty disposition and
  the ability to turn creatures to stone with its gaze. Folklore holds that, much
  like for the cockatrice, the first basilisks hatched from leathery eggs laid by
  snakes and incubated by roosters, but little in the basilisk's physiology lends
  any credence to this claim.

  description: The basilisk stares at a creature it can see within 30 feet. That creature
    must attempt a DC 22 Fortitude save. If it fails and has not already been slowed
    by Petrifying Glance or this ability, it becomes slowed 1. If the creature was
    already slowed by this ability or Petrifying Glance, a failed save causes the
    creature to be petrified permanently. A creature petrified in this manner that
    is coated (not just splashed) with fresh basilisk blood (taken from a basilisk
    that has been dead no longer than 1 hour) is instantly restored to flesh. A single
    basilisk contains enough blood to coat 1d3 Medium creatures in this manner.
