Description
The Basilisk is an early-game enemy that makes its debut in Normal Mode and serves as the first boss in said mode. It has a slow speed but possesses a high health of 
130.
Basilisk is replaced by the Chained in Hard Mode and the Metallic in Expert Mode.
Lore
"This is an early recipient of the arcane magic that Devotees use, if you could even call it magic. Their work manages to give a stone statue sentience, albeit with many troubles occurring along the way. These units are heavy, and must be taken out accordingly."
Appearance
The Basilisk is stone-like in appearance. It has rough skin that is grey in color along with a dark green torso and legs. There is a white arcane stone in the center of its torso which illuminates slightly with a visible red glow. It has black bands on both of its arms and legs. There is a knife puncturing through its back for unknown reasons.
Tactics
- Because of its early appearance in Normal mode, it can be difficult to prepare for the Basilisk's invasion due to the fact that prior enemies can easily be dispatched. However, if you are preparing for the Basilisk, the following towers that are shown below can do the job.
- Groups of Snipers or Sharpshooters can take this enemy down.
- A 2-3 Demolitionist can be useful against this.
- If you're new to the game, you can place down three to four 3-2 Slingers to counter this enemy.
- A 4-X Crossbower can be useful against this along with other enemies close to him.
Trivia
- The Basilisk has the same death sound effect as the Crusader Lord.
- This enemy is also a replacement for the Heavy (Old).
