## Chronology

### The Dark Hero's Story Arc

*Main article: The Dark Hero's Story Arc*
The Gigant Basilisk made an appearance in a nearby village hunting goblins. It was then encountered by Momon while he was escorting Torkel Karan Dale Völkchenheim, who hired Momon to help him defeat a monster by himself as part of Torkel's coming of age ceremony. Despite Torkel's warnings to Momon that the Gigant Basilisk would be too powerful and dangerous to fight, it was easily defeated by Momon. In the future, Torkel's story of his encounter with Dark Hero Momon whose heroic battle against the Gigant Basilisk is retold by Torkel himself to his descendants later on in his life.

## Abilities

As a basilisk, Gigant Basilisk possesses the same abilities such as a petrifying gaze and deadly poison coursing through its veins. Though unlike a normal breed of a basilisk, it has a thick scales as hard as mithril. They are normally difficult to counter against without the presence of a faith-based magic caster who is able to provide crucial support such as Healing and Reinforce Armor.

Gigant Basilisks are rumored to be strong enough to destroy a small town and only ones who would dare to face off against these beasts are the Adamantite ranked adventurers. Gagaran, who is herself on that level, mentions that the Gigant Basilisk is the worst enemy to encounter for a warrior like herself for instance, who specializes in close-range combat.
