Abilities

Petrifying Glance (arcane, aura) — When a creature the basilisk can see within 30 feet starts its turn, the basilisk can use its reaction to glance at the creature. The creature must attempt a DC 20 Fortitude save. If it fails, it gains the Slowed 1 condition for 1 minute as its body slowly stiffens.
Petrifying Gaze (arcane, concentrate) — The basilisk stares at a creature it can see within 30 feet. If the creature can see the basilisk, that creature must attempt a DC 22 Fortitude save. If it fails and hasn't already gained the slowed condition from Petrifying Glance or this ability, it gains the Slowed 1 condition. If the creature fails this save when it already has the slowed condition from this ability or Petrifying Glance, the creature is permanently turned to stone. A creature petrified in this manner that is coated with fresh basilisk blood is instantly restored to flesh. A single basilisk contains enough blood to coat up to 2 creatures in this manner.
