In D&D lore (at least in 5e), basilisks are portrayed as large lizards with eight legs. Long story short, someone gets bit, turns to stone, and wham-o: you’re in jail, bubba.

In the adventure that came with the box set, the narrative hook–the one that made it so your players ended up in Zanzer’s Dungeon–was the delivery of a basilisk to… someone. I was just 10 back then, but I was totally hooked by it. Way, way back in 1991, TSR published The NEW Easy-to-Master Dungeons & Dragons boxed set. Er, anyway, it’s time to cover basilisks.
