A basilisk and two victims of its murderous gaze, c.1200-1225 Isn’t that a cockatrice? I’m just wondering because I thought basilisks had a serpentine form, please correct me if I’m wrong. In medieval Europe the basilisk began taking on the form and description of a cockerel/cockatrice. Kind of like dragons and wyverns descriptions eventually evolve and are incorporated into other grotesques. There is a lot of overlapping and grey areas with mythological creatures
