  • Thank you so much for your feedback! Yes basilisk are part of several different cultures’ folk lore. I wanted to really create my own original version of a basilisk while still pulling from the various descriptions I read of the creature. I really fell in love with the color scheme on this oc, so bit by bit it all came together. The idea of a flying snake/humanoid creature seemed like so much fun and kind of a unique concept so I thought why not! Lol

  • This is really interesting! The only basilisk I know of was the one made up in Harry Potter, so I had to look it up, lol. This is a fascinating take on the mythical creature. Aside from the wings, Calliope gives me mermaid swimming in the sky vibes. But I still love her description as well as how you put her together. I'd love to see more of her. Maybe a different background? 4/5. smile
