Basilisk- Slavic Mythology

 Unfortunately the Basilisk it wasn't created by Slav but by Roman by Pilny the Elder who described monster as first.The Basilisk (after Christianization) become a incarnation of devil and Satan. Basilisk was the creature which was created from egg hatched by rooster and incubated by a toad. It was believed to wither landscapes with its breath and kill with a glare. It just looked at person and this man died. His name (regulus) means "little king" because it was king of serpents. it could kill snakes by his odor and birds by fire which was coming out from his mouth. It could also kill by hissing, that the reason why it called sibilus. it likes dry places like scorpion. His bite caused that his victims became hydrophobic.  And the funny curio the Basilisk can be killed  by a weasel and gazing at its own reflection in a mirror.
