The Basilisk is a lesser demon encountered in Devil May Cry 4. Agnus is able to summon six Basilisks at a time and use them like a a support artillery while in his Angelo Agnus form.
Description
Basilisks were created by Agnus by magically cross-breeding a gun and a dog.[1] Their insides are made of flame, and are visible through their skeleton-like body. They can fight with teeth and claws, but their most dangerous attack is to fire their skulls from their bodies like a canon. They posess the ability to generate a new head, so they can use this attack repeatedly.
Strategy
Basilisks are swift and agile opponents often able to attack you while in the middle of a combo. Their skulls are easily dodged, but the opposite can be said when they pounce at you. It is recommended to use firearms at them while continuing to dodge their attacks and focus your hits on one Basilisk while still paying attention to the others attacks.
As Nero, you can charge up the Blue Rose to knock them down, and you can then Buster them, while being careful to dodge their attacks.
As Dante, use the Coyote-A or the Pandora, and evade their flame skulls with the Royalguard or Trickster Styles. In Dante Must Die mode, using Nero's Buster or even Air Buster (to keep a safe distance) on Basilisks is not recommended, as they attack much faster and are even more unpredictable.
Background
The Basilisk is a mythical creature in Greek and European legends. Its physical appearance is unmistakably reptilian, with the occasion of having a chicken's head, and is often depicted with multiple legs, with sometimes even as much as eight or ten. It's unfathomably poisonous to the point where it leaves a snail-like poison trail when traveling, and also demonstrates the power to paralyze, petrify, or at worst, kill with a single glance.
