While most don't see the Basilisk apart from the Island's many bottom-of-the-food-chain critters, it is my opinion that this little guy definitely makes waves. Sorry, I couldn't miss the opportunity. The Basilisk is uniquely adapted for walking on water, something that it employs to out-manoeuvre anything that might try to harm it.

Their prehensile tongue rivals the  Beelzebufo for function--if not in length--and while wild Basilisks are incredibly skittish, when properly encouraged they can use their tongue to gather  Cementing Paste.

  • Weight: 55 (+1)
  • Melee Damage: 10 (+0.5)
  • Movement Speed: 110 / 960
Usage
  • Attacks with slightly longer than melee range, simialr to the Beelzebufo.
  • Can walk and sprint across the water's surface. Despite realism, they can also stand idle on the water's surface.
  • Harvests cementing paste from  Meganeura and  Titanomyrma corpses at a similar rate to the Beelzebufo, but is significantly worse at gathering meat and chitin.
