These are on volcano island in Fjordur, be careful they sometimes come in pairs of two.
Aberration survival rule #1: if you see a strange "v" in the ground, run for your life and don't look back
This legless lizard spits poison, one hit knocks you, and it loves to kill your Bulbdog named Spike
They spawn in the volcano biome on genesis
Me: Sees a cool V on the ground, explores
Basilisk: Hey did you come to feed me?
What a pretty plant let’s touch I-
Basilisk: nom
These things for the most part don’t torpor run, they will just fight until they go uncon, or just aggro onto something else. Hard to tame so just k!ll it for the most part unless you can tame it when you see it.

Aberration- Fertile Region, Bio Luminescent Region, Red Hazard Zone
Genesis Part 1- Volcano

Fjordur- Balheimr (The Volcano Island)
So, my friend and I are playing Fjordur until I have the great idea "Let's go tame a basilisk!" So we go to Balhmeir and find one burrowed. My friend was in a mech and shot it, and the splash damage got it out of the ground. We were on the ground with it, and turns out it was an ALPHA BASILISK. I think the ark Devs were a little high when making this...
The danger noodles of the ground,
They hiss a dangerous green gas,
Slightly like the poison wyvern,
But with a more lethal mass.
They slither under your feet,
And only show their resting trident tail,
Don't trust this sneaky way,
Of getting a delicious treat.
STAY OUT OF ITS WAY TO AVOID CONFLICT
I GOT 3 SHOT BY IT AND I HAD 800 HEALTH AND FULL ASCENDANT FLAK ARMOUR
(It also snapped my griffin out of existence)
So I just started abb and I was doing well running from carnos and raptors that, luckily, did not see me. Then I found some stegos to hide by and there was a trike not too far away it’s head was glowing red I was so confused. Welp let’s just say I did not see that Balisk intil it popped out of the ground shot poison at missed hit a stego and then want on a rampage killing everything on sight. I ran for the tunnel that separated the portal and the world outside I made it and I’m hiding there right now
(Sorry little lengthy) by a noob of aberration
Ok, listen up they can spawn in the portal area. It killed me and friends about 10 minutes in the dlc. It just spawned in our faces.
In Fjördur, they can be found in the volcano
Aggro range is crazy long. The poison is easy to dodge but I haven't been able to get away from it yet.
Honestly I think they should make it to any fertile egg will tame the creature or just to make it breedable because almost everything else can breed but the basilisk can't and it is a really hard tame to get.
I wish it was a knock out tame and you just put eggs in its inventory like the oviraptor
Okay so these little f—ks will come outa the sand and murder you. Oh and don’t bring wyverns on attack my target. R.I.P bloody angel and blood light. Please help me Get revenge on these things. It killed my three raptors and my two blood crystal wyverns.
