A basilisk is a magical beast with a gaze that causes petrification.

Basilisks can be encountered in Falkovnia[1].

Descriptive Text

We could now hear the beast, its scales scraping against the ground--could even hear the heavy, dull exhalation of each fetid breath. I imagined--or perhaps it was not imagination, at all--that I could smell that breath, still rank with Mikkel's blood. Harkon shouted, and I could see the flare of the daylight spell even through the cloth over my eyes; I lifted the great silvered mirror, knowing that if our surmise was incorrect I would literally be fighting blind.
