'''Basilisks and Greater Basilisks''' are the level 4 creatures of [[Fortress]]. They are recruited from the [[Basilisk Pit]].

''"The basilisk and greater basilisk have developed the ability to [[petrify]] their prey for three rounds. Their attacks have a 20% chance of making this occur. Petrified creatures take 50% damage from attacks and are unfrozen when struck."{{-}}<sup>[[Restoration of Erathia Manual Page 94|RoE manual]]''</sup>

== Heroes with a specialty ==
*{{H|Bron|Beastmaster}} has basilisks as a [[Specialty#Creature_specialties|specialty]], which increases the attack and defense skills of any basilisks or greater basilisks for each level attained after 4th level, and gives them a [[speed]] bonus of 1. Uniquely, he also starts with Basilisks in his army.

{{fanopinion|
Basilisks have pretty high stats for their level. As other [[Fortress]] creatures, they have an excellent special ability. Upgrading them right away is recommended due to the significant increase in speed.

If you choose Bron as your starting hero (or recruit him as one of the weekly heroes at a tavern), you will have Basislisks in your army. This is the only hero that starts with a level 4 creature and also gives them +1 speed (unless you play {{hota}} as [[Cove]] hero [[Illor]] starts with [[Stormbird and Ayssid|Stormbirds]] and [[Factory]] heroes [[Todd]] and [[Frederick]] starts with [[Automaton and Sentinel Automaton|Automatons]]), giving your army some advantage in the early game.

Dividing your early basilisks into several stacks is a useful tactic to maximize the chances to trigger the powerful petrification, which will take an enemy stack out of action for a whole three rounds.
