Muggle Basilisk

[Dave Hardenbrook]

No: HPFGUIDX 207

FYI, the Muggle Basilisk is a lizard, about 2 feet long, greenish in color,
with "fins" on its head, back and tail somewhat reminiscent of the "sails"
on the dinosaurs _Spinosaurus_, _Amargasaurus_, and _Suchomimus_ and
the pre-dinosaurian reptile _Dimetrodon_.  Basilisks have the further oddity
that they can run on their back legs, and can even run on the surface of
the water in rivers.

If I can find a scan of a picture of one I'll upload it to the archive...
