Basilisk

A Basilisk is a Slayer monster that requires a Slayer level of 40 to kill. Players must equip a mirror shield when fighting these monsters or have their stats dangerously reduced by the Basilisk's stare. In addition to stats being drained, they will constantly hit 10s on you without a miss. Basilisks attack with melee, so wearing good melee armour will ensure that the player takes minimal damage. They are known to have a high Defence so tasks of these can be very long. Shortly after the release of Summoning, the Fremennik Slayer Dungeon was almost always inundated with people seeking charms from the Basilisks. However, the area is not nearly as crowded these days. Players with level 70 defence or above will not get hit very often, so less food is recommended to make room for drops. The spell Bones to peaches is highly recommended for lower levels or mage "pures".
