Traits

Weird Mind. Any attempt by any entity except another Chicken Basilisk to read a Chicken Basilisk's mind must make a DC 16 intelligence saving throw or take 4d6 damage. Its mind cannot be successfully read.

Incomprehensible. Any Creature that beholds The Chicken Basilisk with an intelligence less than 16 and is not blind must make a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw or take 12d8 psychic damage. Any creature that beholds The Chicken Basilisk with an intelligence greater than 19 and is not blind must make a DC 20 Constitution saving throw or be turned to stone. If a creature with Truesight beholds The Chicken Basilisk, they must make a DC 24 Intelligence saving throw, and then make a DC 24 Wisdom saving throw, if Either of this fail, they are instantly turned to stone. This can be bypassed by only looking at the Chicken Basilisk through a mirror, or having their vision altered in some way.

Inconsolable. The Chicken Basilisk is immune to being Charmed, Exhausted, Frightened, and Unconscious. It cannot be persuaded or intimidated either

Wretched. If The Chicken Basilisk's roll for max health is < 350 it becomes a Wretched Chicken Basilisk, which cannot use the Mythic or Legendary abilities, can only use wailing, and has half of ALL stats the normal Chicken Basilisk has

Eldritch Rot: Any attack that lands from this creature does an additional 2d8 force damage per turn on the target, or every hour for 24 hours outside of battle.

Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If the Chicken Basilisk fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.

Panoptic Vision. The Basilisk can see anything within its lair at all times

Actions

Multiattack. The Chicken Basilisk uses two of its talons and its beak, and an additional action.

Peck. Melee Weapon Attack: +19 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 5d10 + 10 piercing damage plus 4d8 force damage., 1 Target.

Talon. Melee Weapon Attack: +19 to hit, reach 5ft., two target. Hit: 4d12 slashing damage.

Eldritch Breath (Recharge 5-6). The Chicken Basilisk exhales an Eldritch Flame in a 120-foot line that is ten feet wide. Each creature in that line must make a DC 20 Dexterity saving throw and a DC 15 Wisdom Saving throw, taking 15d8 force damage on a failed save, or 1/2 of that on a successful one.

Wailing. The Chicken Basilisk releases a Wail, which gets louder the further away the target is from it. Each affected entity must make a DC 12 Constitution or Dexterity saving throw or take 2d6 Thunder damage for every 250 feet away from it unlimited targets. (Can be used twice per Long Rest)

 

Legendary Actions

A Thousand Whispers/Forbidden Knowledge. The Chicken Basilisk can reveal a secret to a target within 10 feet of it, causing the target to make a DC 29 Wisdom saving throw that CANNOT BE AVOIDED WITH LEGENDARY RESISTANCE or take 12d12 psychic damage. If this would kill the target, The Chicken Basilisk now has complete control of the target, this lasts for 24 hours after The Chicken Basilisk either breaks concentration or dies. If the target survives this 24-hour period, they now have this ability at a quarter of the range.

 

Mythic Actions

Reality Shift. If an entity rolls for Perception in the area affected by the Chicken Basilisk, the DM flips a coin for each roll determining whether or not reality has been altered by the creature. The player is not made aware of this roll

  • If HEADS nothing happens. If TAILS reality is shifted.
    • If the affected makes a perception check AND reality is shifted, they gain a point of the stat Confusion. (Players additionally have to also NOTICE the new change), if their confusion stat is greater than their intelligence stat, they fall unconscious and cannot be awoken till either the Chicken Basilisk is defeated, or it breaks concentration.
    • Each time a player notices A NEW reality shift, the more the Chicken Basilisk can shift reality. From a scale of small visual features like signs, to something like the local weather, and it's even rumored that some ancient Chicken Basilisks can shift entire biomes and environments.
  • Reality shift can only occur within the Chicken Basilisk's lair/domain which can be, at max, a medium sized town, or 1 square mile (a 5280ft-by-5280ft area). Whichever is larger or as the DM sees fit. If the Chicken Basilisk breaks concentration reality reverts to as it was before the shift, including all false physical items carried by any affected entity.
  • The affected keep with them anything they took before reality was shifted unless the Chicken Basilisk specifically shifts that item

Description

It looks like a massive fractally shifting mass of scale, flesh, feather, beak, and claw. It roughly looks like a snake with the head of a chicken and the legs of a lizard, but those features are vague and blur together like a kaleidoscope as the creature shifts.

Lair and Lair Actions

Chicken Basilisks often dwell within medium sized towns, with an average population and high traffic. They are more partial to towns within large open areas like plain and desert cities.

The Chicken Basilisk has a low degree of influence on the people within the town it inhabits, which grows stronger the older and larger The Chicken Basilisk is.
