Armor (scale mail), rare

Basilisk Scale Mail is created from the (nonpetrified) hide of any of the several species of basilisks.  These six-legged reptilians are known and feared for their ability to turn its prey to stone with one glance from its deadly gaze. 

To harvest the hide of a defeated basilisk, you must perform a DC 14 survival check to gather enough quality materials for one suit of scale mail, which consists of a coat and leggings, (or skirt for females) which are then covered with overlapping pieces of the scaly hid of the basilisk, this suit can include gauntlets, boots, and a soft leather cap if enough hide is harvested. It can be crafted by any leatherworker or artisan with proficiency with leatherworking, hide, and/or scale, using leatherworking tools for 450gp by a character who is proficient in the same, who has the time, money, and needed tools that use their downtime to craft it themselves.

Wearing this armor gives you a base AC of 14 plus a maximum bonus Dexterity modifier of 2, with no penalty to stealth checks as with typical scale mail. Additionally, the wearer is given advantage to all saving throws made against petrification and poison.

This armor consists of a coat and leggings (and perhaps a separate skirt) of leather covered with overlapping pieces of metal, much like the scales of a fish. The suit includes gauntlets.
