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.
Babies you haven't found in the game yet are hidden. Tap one to peek, or .

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

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

Sly
Shadow Basilisk · Rare · Carries the mark of the Great Eclipse
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.”
Secret: He's desperate to blink, every single time.

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.”
Secret: She's collecting shiny things to make herself a crown.
✓
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.”
Secret: He's practising writing everyone's name in the sand.

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.”
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.
