assistant
The crested basilisk is the size of a large dog, but its vicious-looking talons and sharp, hooked beak are fearsome weapons indeed. Looking like a cross between a huge fighting rooster and a serpentine lizard, the crested basilisk gazes around with its hypnotic, paralyzing eyes as its scaled reptilian tail whips back and forth. A bright red crest, more reminiscent of a lizard than of a chicken, adorns its feathered head and neck.
