Basilisk

The Basilisk is a Hardmode enemy found in the Underground Desert biome. They move quickly and highly resist knockback, making them a very formidable enemy to fight against. They have a rare chance of dropping Sturdy Fossils.

Tips

 * When fighting Basilisks, fighting them from above or with weapons that deal high knockback is a good idea.

Trivia

 * In mythology, Basilisks are reputed to kill with their gaze or poisonous breath. Fortunately, they have no such abilities in Terraria.
