About

In the distance you see a shape moving across a rugged, stony terrain. Its six sickly looking legs move in a deliberate manner dropping flakes of scaly skin and and chunks of rotted flesh. After a sudden stop you know it has detected your presence and turns toward you. Too late you realize that the creature is a basilisk and you are looking right at its dark eyes. Frozen, not petrified, but from fright, you wonder how you survived its lithic stare. When it attacks it you understand, it is no longer a. living monster but a shell brought back to life for nefarious purpose.
