Aromatic Armor: The Basilisk Basilion's basil-covered hide releases a potent aroma when disturbed. Any creature that starts its turn within 5ft. of the Basilisk Basilion must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be incapacitated by the overwhelming scent until the start of its next turn.
Leaf Slash. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 16 (3d6 + 4) slashing damage. The sharp basil leaves can cut through armor with ease.
Noodle Crush. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 20 (3d10 + 4) bludgeoning damage. The Basilisk Basilion uses its large noodle appendages to slam a target.
Herbal Roar (Recharge 5-6). The Basilisk Basilion lets out a mighty roar infused with the power of herbs. Each creature within a 20 ft. radius must succeed on a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
Basil Block: When creature the Basilisk Basillion can see targets it with an attack, the Basilisk Basilion can add 3 to its Ac against that attack, potentially causing it to miss.
Description
Creature that combines elements of a dinosaur with various pasta shapes and food items. The body of the creature is primarily composed of fettuccine-like pasta strands that are intricately woven to form its limbs, torso, and tail. The back of the creature features large conchiglie pasta pieces arranged like the plates of a stegosaurus. There are also numerous basil leaves integrated into the design, giving it a leafy, herbaceous appearance. The head of the creature is fearsome, with a mouth open wide, revealing sharp teeth that look like they might be made from some kind of pasta or vegetable. The eyes are menacing, and the overall aesthetic combines the form of a dinosaur with the textures and colors of pasta and Italian cuisine.
