"In the tangled forests of medieval bestiaries and the margins of ancient manuscripts lurks a creature of terrifying power and hypnotic myth: the basilisk, often dubbed the “king of serpents.” Feared for its deadly gaze, venomous breath, and supernatural authority, the basilisk occupies a unique place in European folklore—a symbol of lethal majesty and the mysterious boundaries between myth and reality."
