Entry #2: Basiliks

Appearance: The Son of Neptune

Basilisks are snake-like monsters. Their name means "little crown."

They are little green snakes with an expandable collar of white spikes around their necks. They can breathe fire and their touch is poisonous. They can be as long as a man's arm.

Abilities:They are able to spit fire and are very poisonous. When one simply touched Frank's bow, it disintegrated. Poor Frank, yeah I know.

Strategies: Basilisks are a toughie to defeat. Percy told me that they are deathly scared of weasels and Frank can turn into one! So, strategy? Always have Frank besides you. If you don't have Frank, don't panic! You won't die! That's what this guide is for! Kill them from afar. Once they get close, they can inject you with poison or they can breathe fire! A bow and arrow with a poison tip or such can be an exceptional weapon, but always be sure that your accuracy is perfect. If it was Percy with that bow and arrow, well, good luck! Children of Apollo or Hunters can deal with them will. Jason's lightning power or Percy's tidal wave are also good weapons! Maybe have a pet weasel with you at all times, ok?

Frank: So yeah, to reinforce Percy's statement, they are really afraid of weasels. Weasels are super fast and they can scare away the basilisks and keep them away. I also had help from Gray. Just don't let them overwhelm you!
