- The basilisk stares at a creature it can see within 30 feet. If the creature can see the basilisk, that creature must attempt a 22 Fortitude save. If it fails and hasn't already gained the slowed condition from Petrifying Glance or this ability, it gains the slowed 1 condition. If the creature fails this save when it already has the slowed condition from this ability or Petrifying Glance, the creature is permanently turned to stone.
- A creature petrified in this manner that is coated with fresh basilisk blood is instantly restored to flesh. A single basilisk contains enough blood to coat up to 2 creatures in this manner.
