  • This card is based on the Basilisk, a serpent which was hatched by a cockerel from the egg of a toad or serpent. It was depicted as having features of a cockerel during the times of Medieval Europe.
    • It is also similar in appearance to the Cockatrice, a two-legged dragon-like creature with the head of a rooster. The basilisk and the cockatrice were considered to be similar creatures, if not the same; both are said to be able to kill or turn to stone whomever they looked at, which this monster's effect mimics.
