Traits

Petrifying Gaze. If a creature starts its turn within 30 feet of the abyssal basilisk and the two of them can see each other, the abyssal basilisk can force the creature to make a DC 14 Constitution saving throw if the abyssal basilisk isn't incapacitated. On a failed save, the creature magically begins to turn to stone and is restrained. It must repeat the saving throw at the end of its next turn. On a success, the effect ends. On a failure, the creature is petrified until freed by the greater restoration spell or other magic.

A creature that isn't surprised can avert its eyes to avoid the saving throw at the start of its turn. If it does so, it can't see the abyssal basilisk until the start of its next turn, when it can avert its eyes again.

If it looks at the abyssal basilisk in the meantime, it must immediately make the save.

Description

Abyssal basilisks are larger, more powerful versions of their Prime Material cousins. Like all basilisks, they spend most of their time immobile, waiting for prey to come within range of their petrifying gaze or formidable jaws. This characteristic makes them ideal guardians for creatures who can control or contain them. Although seemingly sluggish, abyssal basilisks strike with incredible speed and react quickly to nearby prey. Also, like their kin, abyssal basilisks rely on their gaze to petrify opponents and bite only when a creature comes in range. As omnivores, abyssal basilisks can eat creatures they have turned to stone. An abyssal basilisk is about 10 feet long and weighs over 2,000 pounds. Its coloration is mainly gray, but the scales on its belly range from green to dark red.
