Lesser Basilisk

 Lesser Basilisks are easily distinguished by their smaller size,their lack of horns, and a regular tail instead of an arrowheaded tail.  

-Tommen Gill, hunter and knower of beasts

Lesser basilisks are far more common than Higher Basilisks, yet they also lack their intelligence and fiercesomeness. Don't let this fool you into thinking they are an easy match, though. Every basilisk, even the weakest and smallest, are highly dangerous and posess a venomous bite capable of rendering large animals such as deer and even humans into a state of paralysis, or even death.

Every basilisk is born with only a small amount of poison, and thus their method of hunting is injecting a slight amount of poison, and then closely stalking their prey until they finally collapse from the poison. They then have enough time to feast on their victim.

Unlike Higher Basilisks they are not considered sentient, and thus considered a creature not a race. They inhabit the Dragon Lands or the very southern parts of Mérindar.
