Basilisk
CharacterThe Basilisk is a monstrous beast that guards Impel Down's Level 2, Beast Hell, ranking just below the Sphinx. Hatched from a chicken through a rare mutation, the giant terror briefly menaced Luffy during his prison break.
Appearance
The Basilisk is an enormous chicken-bodied creature crowned with a reptile's head, its tongue lolling out in a crazed manner.
Personality
The beast is savage by nature, and its reputation alone is enough to frighten the prisoners held within Impel Down.
History
Born as a snake from a chicken through an unusual mutation, the Basilisk holds the rank of second-in-command of Beast Hell, answering only to the Sphinx. Little is confirmed about its strength beyond the fact that it falls short of its superior. When Monkey D. Luffy and Buggy pushed into Level 2, the Basilisk lunged at them, only to be brought down by Luffy in his Gear 3 form. It made no further appearance, staying absent when the prisoners later surged through Level 2 during the mass breakout.
