If a creature starts its turn within 30 feet of the basilisk and the two of them can see each other, the basilisk can force the creature to make a DC 12  Constitution  saving throw if the basilisk isn\xe2\x80\x99t  incapacitated . On a failed save, the creature magically begins to turn into a shadow and is  restrained . It must repeat the saving throw at the end of its next turn. On a success, the effect ends. On a failure, the creature is turned into a shadow until freed by the  remove curse  spell or other magic. A creature that isn\xe2\x80\x99t surprised can avert its eyes to avoid the saving throw at the start of its turn. If it does so, it can\xe2\x80\x99t see the basilisk until the start of its next turn, when it can avert its eyes again. If it looks at the basilisk in the meantime, it must immediately make the save. If the basilisk sees its reflection within 30 feet of it in bright light, it mistakes itself for a rival and targets itself with its gaze. \n'b'\n'b' ACTIONS \n'b'\n'b'  Bite .

Much bigger than its traditional counterpart, with waves of shadow coming off it like heat shimmers, the gloom basilisk has sent many a party of adventurers running for the hills and questioning their career choices. \n'b'  All in the Gaze . Most adventurers will be aware of the fact that, like most gorgons, the basilisk can petrify with its stare. \n'b' However, the gloom basilisk is different, as it inflicts a sort of ghostism on its victims, turning them into silent shadows which are often mistaken for ghosts. A powerful magical practitioner with the  remove curse  spell or similar magic can remove this effect, but often they don\xe2\x80\x99t realize the apparition they see is a living person.'
