Our final basilisk is drawn in the snake form which appears to be the rarer depiction. It is pictured being held by a centaur. It is from this week's first English bestiary dated 1225-1250. #medievalmanuscripts #medievalart #bestiary #basilisk

An alarmed looking curly-haired centaur with jug ears and a saggy grey horse body holding a blue snake-like creature with a dog-like head at arm's length.

Medieval basilisks varied widely but most were drawn as per the traditional description of a bird-snake hybrid as in this illustration from the Aberdeen Bestiary which dates to the 12th century. #medievalmanuscripts #medievalart #bestiary #basilisk

A red basilisk with a long snake tail and a long-necked bird head with a large comb and an open blue beak. It has shield like wings and has a brown weasel standing on its back biting its neck.

This basilisk from another English bestiary, dated 1200-1225, has just struck a victim dead and is looking at a weasel, the only animal considered able to kill it at the time. #medievalmanuscripts #medievalart #bestiary #basilisk

A very large and fierce-looking white basilisk with a bird body, snake tail and long snake neck with a bird head sporting a red comb and wattle glaring at a white weasel on the left while a blue clad figure appears to be dying from the basilisk's look on the right.

A Myconid, for @EmielBoven 's The Electrum Archive. This fungal person is digging into a basket of mushrooms... food, or perhaps cannibalism?

This week we're focusing on basilisks starting with this King of the Basilisks being paid homage by lesser snakes from an English bestiary dated 1225-1250. #medievalmanuscripts #medievalart #bestiary #basilisk

A crowned stripy orange-red, green winged basilisk with a long snake-like neck and tail taking homage from three stripy brown snakes standing on their tails.

"Is that... a human cub?" the brute thinks, staring.

The myrmecoleon was a mythical ant-lion hybrid referenced in the "Physiologus," a 2nd-century didactic Christian bestiary from Greece. Its lion mouth could only chew meat but its ant stomach could only digest grain, and so the poor creature starved.
