Actions

Multiattack.The basilisk makes two attacks, one with its bite and one with its tail.

Bite.Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 17 (3d8 + 4) piercing damage plus 7 (2d6) fire damage.

Tail.Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 15 (2d10 + 4) bludgeoning damage.

Volcanic Gaze.If a creature starts its turn within 30 feet of the basilisk and the two of them can see each other, the basilisk can force the creature to make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. On a failure, the creature magically begins to turn to obsidian and is restrained. It must repeat the saving throw at the end of its next turn. On a success, the effect ends. On a failure, the creature is petrified into volcanic glass.

The Obsidian Basilisk

An eight-legged reptile native to the Shattered Plains. Its gaze is so intensely imbued with geothermal and solar aether that it turns victims into statues of volcanic glass.
