Basilisk:

Quote:

In European bestiaries and legends, a basilisk is a legendary reptile reputed to be king of serpents and said to have the power to cause death with a single glance.

Leviathan:

Quote:

Leviathan is a sea monster referred to in the Hebrew Bible (the Christian Old Testament). The word leviathan has become synonymous with any large sea monster or creature. In Christian tradition, the Leviathan is associated with Satan. In modern literature (such as the novel Moby-Dick) it refers to great whales, and in Modern Hebrew, it means simply "whale."

Leviathan because it is a killer album by Mastodon.

Leviathan because that Harry Potter movie with a Basilisk didn't float my boat.

Teuthida · 06-29-2009, 02:30 PM

Basilisk because I always first think of the cute little basilisk lizards that run on water.

Gotta be the Leviathan. I mean, just that name alone is worth the win.

And if that little doofus Harry can kill a basilisk then they are not that tough, yeah, I could take a basilisk

After much pondering, I have to go with the Leviathan. Ric convinced me with I mean, just that name alone is worth the win.

Leviathan's main weapon is melee/biting.

Eyes must see target to melee attack.

Basilisk turns anyone or thing that looks at it to stone with a gaze.

Leviathan must look at Basilisk to attack.

Leviathan is a statue.

Basilisk wins.

Or rather it would, if the Leviathan had decided to attack.

But the Leviathan did not attack, it waited.

The Basilisk eventually grew tired of waiting for the Leviathan, and so it went to look for him.

The basilisk came to the edge of the lake it gazed across then down into the water.

As the Basilisk peered into the water it saw the Leviathan. Fixing his gaze he smiled as he saw the Leviathan slowly turning to stone.

But the Leviathan smiled back.

It was then that the Basilisk realised that it was not the Leviathan he could see, it was his own reflection. In terror the Basilisk tried to turn away but it was too late, the Basilisk had already sealed it's own fate and it turned to stone.

The Leviathan decided he had, had enough of this shit, if he was doomed to spend the rest of his life at the bottom of a lake then it was just as futile as being turned to stone.

The Leviathan swam to the surface and peered arund the lake, he saw the Basilisk's statue twisted and contorted, a look of horror on it's face.

The Leviathan pissed itself laughing and left the lake forever.

Well, if we're going to stretch it that far and have genius monsters, the Basilisk has the nuclear football and activated all the launch codes for the entire continent where the Leviathan resides.

The Leviathan turned to radioactive dust while the Basilisk enjoyed his morning tea on the other side of the globe.

Does anyone else think "Basilisk" kind of looks like Ballsack if you just skim at at a glance.

Definitely going with the epic Leviathan here.
