Stare Into the Abyss (standard, while bloodied; recharge ) ♦ Fire, Gaze, Necrotic, Zone
The abyssal basilisk makes a soulfire gaze attack. If the attack hits at least one target, then the attack's area also creates a zone — a localized planar rift straight to the Abyss. Creatures that enter the zone or begin their turn there take 10 points of damage and are pulled 2 squares towards the zone's center. If a creature enters the zone's center-most square through any means, it takes 20 points of damage and is teleported 10 squares in a random direction. The damage type(s) dealt by the zone are the same as the type(s) of the basilisk's last chaos bite.
Soulfire Gaze (standard; at-will) ♦ Fire, Gaze, Necrotic

Abyssal Basilisk Lore

A character knows the following information with a successful Arcana check.

DC 20: Though basilisks feed primarily on living creatures, they can eat nearly anything and will often consume rocks and other inorganic materials when food is scarce. The elemental varieties may in such occasions inadvertently ingest a small fragment of the Abyss, which lodges itself firmly in the creature's gullet and remains there indefinitely, as the basilisk cannot properly digest this unnatural substance. Over time these fragments physically collapse, creating a tiny planar rift that manifests as a minor but direct gateway to the Abyss. Exposure to the chaotic elemental energy that this rift constantly spews forth triggers a startling metamorphosis that eventually transforms the basilisk into one of these horrid creatures.

DC 25: The rift within each abyssal basilisk causes it constant, agonizing pain and also makes it exceptionally hard for the creature to sustain itself, as the rift destroys most of the food the basilisk consumes long before it can properly digest it. This leaves the basilisk feral and crazed, attacking anything and everything it finds without reserve. Though these creatures hunt primarily with their supernatural gaze, they are ironically most feared for their bite: many are the tales of a hapless victim being thrown into the Abyss as a result of being exposed to the maelstrom of energy from the basilisk's maw. (In actuality, while exposure to the rift's energy can be deadly, the rift itself is too small to actually transport a creature of any size to or from the Abyss). Despite their vicious and unpredictable nature (or, more likely, because of it), some demons keep these beasts as pets, using threats of being fed to the basilisk as an effective means to keep lesser minions in check.
