Special Power: One enemy unit is killed every combat round; if forced to retreat, Fifi kills one friendly unit.

Basilisks are rare creatures, living mainly in Da Big Dry, wandering the desert and feeding on its sparse vegetation. They are among the few natural creatures to have evolved a magical ability: in their case, the ability to turn living creatures to stone. As a result, they are troubled by few predators, although many statues of cougars and wolves can be found in the high desert.

Fifi, as she is familiarly known to her handlers, was somehow captured and tamed by a band of orcs, who have equipped her with blinders. They hire themselves out as mercenaries, leading Fifi into battle, then removing the blinders to allow her to look at enemies.

Of course, Fifi sometimes panics, and when she does, she can be a danger to her own side. . . .
