Basilisks (バジリスク Bajirisuku?) are a type of monster in the manga Delicious in Dungeon.

Anatomy and Appearance[]

Basilisks appear to be chickens with a snake for a tail.[1] However, the snake's portion is actually though to be the head, since if a Basilisk is cut in half, the part with the snake head lives longer.[2] The dividing line between head and tail is a point of contention.[3]

They have spurs on the back of their claws that hold a deadly venom.[1]

Their eggs are squishy and bean-shaped like the eggs of snakes,[2] and are laid every 2-3 days, much like chickens.[4] The eggs appear to have no whites.[5] They hatch from eggs looking very much like chicks with small snake tails.[3]

They are related to the Cockatrice, mentioned by Laios to live on a lower dungeon floor.[6]

Behavior and Weaknesses[]

They can sense heat from their snake side with what is commonly known as a pit organ.[7]

The best way to attack them is to first intimidate them by making one's body seem larger and shouting as much as possible,[8] then attack them from two sides at the same time, since the two brains briefly confuse the body if attacked at the same time.[9]

Culinary Usage[]

The basilisk can be cooked like a chicken, and tastes remarkably similar to one too.[10] Eating them raw is not recommended as they harbor the bacteria Campylobacter evil (イビルカンピロバクター ibirukanpirobakutā?).[11]

Basilisk eggs are also edible, and when cooked in an omelette look more reddish-yellow than chicken eggs do.[12]

Basilisk meat and/or eggs have been used in the following dishes:

Trivia[]

The immortal residents of the Golden Castle appear to keep tame basilisks.[13]
