A '''Basilisk''' is a [[Slayer]] monster that requires a Slayer level of 40 to kill. Like [[Cockatrices]], players must equip a [[mirror shield]] when fighting these monsters. Players without 20 defence would not be [[Slayer assignment|assigned]] these as 20 defence is required to wield the shield.<br />
<br />
Basilisks are a good source of runes and have somewhat similar drops to Green dragons.<br />
<br />
Without the shield, the player's stats will be greatly reduced, and the player will take damage frequently. Protect from Melee/Deflect melee can block the attack, as it is still a melee attack, but the stats will still be lowered.<br />
<br />
Players with level 70 [[defence]] or above will not get hit very often, so less food is recommended to make room for drops. The spell [[Bones to Peaches|Bones to peaches]] is highly recommended for lower levels or mage "pures". The [[Pollnivneach Slayer Dungeon]] has many [[safe spot]]s created by rocks in the floor. It is also possible to safe spot them from the south in the [[Fremennik Slayer Dungeon]] if you hug the eastern wall near the south entrance. (NOTE: You still need a mirror shield even if you kill Basilisks from a safe spot.) <br />
A player can obtain a [[baby basilisk]] as a pet, by taking a rare [[Basilisk head]] (stuffed or unstuffed) to [[Nomad]] or [[Zimberfizz]] (after [[Nomad's Requiem]]) in the [[Soul Wars]] lobby. Turning the head into the pet costs 40 zeal points.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
*The name "Basilisk" comes from the Greek word "basilískos", which means "Little King".<br />
*The fact that a player needs a Mirror shield to fight Basilisks derives from the European [[Wikipedia:Basilisk|legend of Basilisks]], which had the power to cause death with just a single glance and were reputed to cause an unwanted death to themselves if they saw their reflection.<br />
*When attacking, there is a glitch in which all of the Basilisk's right rear feet pivoted into the ground unrealistically. It has not been fixed.<br />
*Most of a Basilisk's drops are worth bringing [[High Level Alchemy]] runes for, as they return more gold than selling a [[Nature Rune]] and 5 [[Fire Rune]]s would, especially with their reasonably high drop rate of Nature Runes cancelling out any cost that would be incurred.<br />
*Basilisks are occasionally aggressive towards the player. It is unknown if this is a glitch.<br />
*Basilisks appear to have the same moving and dying animation as the cockroaches in the [[Stronghold of Player Safety]].<br />
