īasilisks spent much of their time asleep basking, either in the heat of the sun, or, if that was too harsh, in the heat of some other source, such as a volcanic vent, or even a campfire. They only needed to eat one large meal (the size of a deer or a humanoid) a month, owing to their slow metabolisms, though would apparently gorge themselves to death if provided with enough meat. When hunting, they pounced from hiding and attacked with their petrifying gaze and vicious bite. They were observed to be irrational and possibly insane half the time but shrewd hunters the other half. They were easy to anger, though they never fought to the death if it could be helped. They made their lairs in dark underground caves where there was a ready and easily accessible food and water supply. īasilisks were lazy and cowardly creatures, but evilly cunning. When not hunting, basilisks slept off their meals in their lairs, sometimes in small groups of up to six individuals. Basilisks had a very robust digestive system, however, and could digest even stone. To prevent this, basilisks typically laired in hidden dens, waiting for any prey unfortunate enough to wander in, even if it was extremely small. As a result, prey that fled usually got away unharmed.

As a result, basilisks relied upon their powerful magical characteristics for hunting and were unprepared for a hard pursuit. Behavior īasilisks had a very slow metabolism, making their movements sluggish and clumsy. It was extremely near-sighted, and consequently the range of its petrifying gaze was much shorter. The greater basilisk was a rare breed of the common basilisk, similar in most respects, except it was larger and with an evil disposition. The Bedine called basilisks hagar motab or "bringers of stone-death". They typically weighed around 300 pounds (140 kilograms).

Adult basilisks could grow to be about 6 feet (1.8 meters) in length, not counting the tail, which could reach another 5 to 7 feet (1.5 to 2.1 meters).

Basilisk eyes were, however, the most notable feature, glowing with a pale green light. Basilisks possessed a single row of bony spines that lined their backs and a few had a curved horn atop their noses. Basilisks came in a variety of colors from dark gray to dark orange, although they also commonly had a dull brown body with a yellowish underbelly.

Ports of Basilisk II exist for multiple computing platforms, including BeOS, Linux, AmigaOS, Windows NT, Mac OS X and mobile devices such as the PlayStation Portable. Alpha versions were available from January 1999 with the first non-alpha release in October of the same year. To run such operating systems, emulators that can emulate PowerPC-based processors, like SheepShaver or PearPC, are needed. Newer Mac OS versions aren't compatible with Basilisk II because those newer versions require a PowerPC-based processor, which can't be emulated by the program. The last version of Mac OS that can be run within Basilisk II is Mac OS 8.1, the last 680x0-compatible version. (March 2012)Ĭhristian Bauer, Nigel Pearson (OS X port), Gwenole Beauchesne (JIT version)īasilisk II is an emulator which emulates the 680x0-based Apple Macintosh computer on a variety of operating systems.
