Basilisk

The idea of this creature came from Greek mythology (a small snake with a white spot on its head), but in medieval Europe it underwent some changes. There he turned into a monster with the body of a toad, the tail of a snake and the head of a rooster. His fetid breath kills everything in the neighborhood, and his gaze makes you petrify.

According to ancient belief, basilisks were born from the eggs of the ibis bird, which, feeding on the eggs of snakes, sometimes lays its own eggs through its beak. The English scientist Alexander Nekam (XII century.) in his essay wrote: ​‌‌​‌‌​ ​‌​‌‌‌‌ ​​​‌​‌ ​​‌​‌​ ​​‌​‌‌ ​‌​​​‌ ​​‌‌​​ ​​‌​​​ ​‌​​​‌ ​​‌‌‌​ ​​‌​‌​ ​‌​​​‌ ​​‌​‌‌ ​​‌‌‌‌ ​‌​​‌‌ ​‌​‌​‌​ ​‌‌​‌‌​ ​‌‌‌​‌‌ ​​‌‌‌‌

"Every time an old rooster lays an egg that a toad bears, a basilisk is born."

You can kill him by directing the sun's rays into his eyes with a mirror (there is a version that he will turn to stone when he sees his reflection in the mirror).

Basilisk (from others-Greek βᾰσῐλίσκος — king; also Lat. basiliscus, regulus, English basilisk, cockatrice).
