Don't make a basilo army for your own...

If not mounted, basilos only attacks by their own or with command if they are close to the surface even if they are not taking damage from the deep.

If you unmount for example for a deep see loot crate on the island map, they will let you and itself to die if you become stunned by jellyfish or eels.

They act like a passive creature even if you set them neutral or agressive. Attack this target won't work either if you are in deep waters.
