Basilisk

Basilisks are the royalty of the Crystal Caves, or so they say. Their one rule: don't stare back.

  • Laying her egg: “Don't stare back!”
  • Once it's laid: “Royally done!”
  • A baby's first words: “Don't stare!”

The six Basilisk babies

Every species in Perfect Crack has six Hatchery Babies: the everyday baby you meet first, four rare colours (Frost, Shadow, Golden and Rainbow, from sparkly and Rainbow eggs) and the Champion, won from the Champion egg in your scored Daily Challenge. Once freed, they live in your Mythical Isles habitat for good. In the game, tap a baby in its habitat on three different days to become friends and hear its secret.

Gaze, the Basilisk✓

Gaze

Basilisk · Common

Shy

Favourite activity: Not looking at anyone, just in case

Gaze is a basilisk, and everyone has heard that basilisks shouldn't stare. So Gaze very politely doesn't look at anyone, just in case. He looks at his feet, the sky or the fountain instead. He'd love it if someone looked at him first.

“Gentle, polite and very careful with his eyes. Look at him kindly; he'll look back.”

Madam Hatchwell

Secret: His stare only makes people giggle. He doesn't know that yet.

Glimmer, the Frost Basilisk✓

Glimmer

Frost Basilisk · Uncommon · Carries the mark of the Great Frost

Curious

Favourite activity: Polishing the crystals

Glimmer polishes the crystals of the Mythical Isles until they sparkle, and studies every one she polishes. She knows which crystals hum, which ones glow and which are warm to the touch. Her frosty scales glimmer just like her favourites.

“A scholar of crystals and an excellent cleaner. My windows have never been brighter.”

Madam Hatchwell

Secret: She has found a crystal that shows a different colour every day of the week.

Sly, the Shadow Basilisk✓

Sly

Shadow Basilisk · Rare · Carries the mark of the Great Eclipse

Mischievous

Favourite activity: Staring contests (he always wins)

Sly loves a staring contest, and he always wins. He fixes you with his dark eyes, doesn't blink, and waits. Sooner or later you laugh, blink or look away, and Sly gives a small, victorious hiss.

“Undefeated at staring. I have tried. I blinked.”

Madam Hatchwell

Secret: He's desperate to blink, every single time.

Regal, the Golden Basilisk✓

Regal

Golden Basilisk · Super rare · Carries the mark of the Golden Dawn

Sleepy

Favourite activity: Sunbathing like royalty

Regal sunbathes like royalty, stretched out on the warmest crystal with her golden crest gleaming. She carries the glow of the Golden Dawn, and she likes to say she's simply soaking up a little more. Mostly she's napping.

“Regal by name, regal by nature, asleep by preference.”

Madam Hatchwell

Secret: She's collecting shiny things to make herself a crown.

Zigzag, the Rainbow Basilisk✓

Zigzag

Rainbow Basilisk · Ultra rare · Carries the mark of the Great Rainbow

Playful

Favourite activity: Slithering in patterns

Zigzag slithers in patterns: zigzags, spirals, loops and, once, a perfect star. He draws them in the sand by the fountain, and his rainbow scales make every shape shimmer. The other babies try to guess what he's making.

“An artist of the sands. The star was very good.”

Madam Hatchwell

Secret: He's practising writing everyone's name in the sand.

Barrie, the Champion Basilisk✓

Barrie

Champion Basilisk · Champion · Won at the Hatchery Show

Sleepy

Favourite activity: Napping on the warmest crystal

Barrie was so pleased to become a Champion that he fell asleep on his rosette straight away. He naps on the warmest crystal in the isles, curled up like a cat, and only wakes for very important things, like lunch.

“A Champion of rest. He has earned it, he tells me.”

Madam Hatchwell

Secret: He dreams about the Hatchery Show every night, and wins every time.

Did you know? In European legend the basilisk was the 'king of serpents'. A real lizard is named after it: the basilisk lizard of Central and South America can run across water.
