Common Basilisk

==Summary==
Basilisks are creatures that, in myths, are either serpentine creautes or creatures that are visibly similar to cockatrices. Real-life basilisks, however, are completely different from the basilisks in European folktales; in fact, basilisks are actually lizards with the capability of running across water. Basilisks usually attain this feat by running bipedally, hence their nickname "the Jesus Christ lizard."

Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Water Walking: Basilisks have large hind feet with scaly fringes on the sides of the third, fourth, and fifth toes. These are compressed against the toes when this lizard walks on land; but if it senses danger, it can jump into the water, opening up these fringes against the water's surface. This increases the surface area of the foot, thus allowing it to run on the water for short distances.
