The Basilisc- (Felilacerta leo) is a member of the Felilacerta family.
The Felilacerta family is known for their anatomy, which is very feline-like. They have powerful jaws, strong hind legs and large shoulder blades.
The Basilisc has an anatomy similar to that of a lion. The Basilisc lives around volcanoes. Its scales are jagged to resemble its surroundings.Volcanoes in this world have their own ecosystem, which is made up of predators primarily, with some herbivores that feed on the small, but lush vegetation growing in the very rich volcanic soil.
The Basilisc's main enemy is the Kompa. Kompas are giant predators with long necks and sharp tails. Singularly, Basiliscs eat eggs and animals smaller than themselves. Together, though, they take down enormous prey. By "together" I mean in twos or threes. When hunting larger animals, they first chase it to make it tired, then they attack with their claws and tail to get it onto the ground, and finally, when the prey is on the ground they rip out its throat. . The frills on their heads are used to attract mates. When in mating season, Basiliscs engage in mock battles, lashing out their frills, trying to scare the opponent.
Due to their natural resistance to heat and sharp teeth and claws, Basiliscs have been used to kill dragons. In fact, some crime lords have made it a sport and host shows featuring battles between Basiliscs and dragons. Nowadays, a movement has stirred has been made, that seeks to end these bloody shows. This movement is, naturally, led by myself.
