Royal Basilisk
A crowned reptile's poison thickens into a clinging vapor that eats through anything it touches, unless the crown is knocked away first.
The royal basilisk is aptly named, not for only the metal crown upon its head but also for the unique potency of its poison. The creature's poison manifests as a sort of cloying vapor that sticks onto and eats away at anything it touches.
In play
Crowned Royalty The royal basilisk's crown is firmly attached to its head but can be Disarmed as though it were a held item. Without a crown, the royal basilisk's mastery over poison is weakened enough that it loses its miasmatic shroud. The royal basilisk can equip a crown within its tail's reach as an Interact action.
