 Actually, according to FB it's a chicken egg on a dung heap, and according to the 
 traditional myths its a rooster egg hatched by a toad on a dung heap 
 underneath the dog star.  Which makes you wonder if maybe Sirus 
 could had some luck with hatching a basilisk...  jk.
 
   However, the basilisk is called the King of Snakes, so, as Kneazy 
 said, if the monster trend theory is correct, the snake has been 
 covered.  
 
 But I still want to see Najini be a naga. ^_^'''
