A rooster's crow is fatal to Basilisks. Spiders, including [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Acromantula|Acromantulae]], are terrified of them and flee from them.
 
In [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Chamber of Secrets|''Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets'']], a Basilisk which lives in the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Chamber of Secrets|Chamber of Secrets]] is released periodically by the Heir of Slytherin. The Heir, whose control over the Basilisk is not complete, attempts to guide it to attack students who are [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Muggle/|Muggle]]-born. This is apparently an attempt to extend [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Salazar Slytherin|Salazar Slytherin]]'s preferred policy for admittance into the school. Slytherin, one of the four Founders of [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry|Hogwarts]], believed that only the children of Wizards ought to be accepted, and departed the school when the other three would not agree with him. Several students, of varying parentage, and one cat (Mrs. Norris), are Petrified by the Basilisk. When Harry enters the Chamber and fights the blinded Basilisk, he thrusts a sword into the roof of its mouth, a move that will kill it; in turn, one of its fangs pierces Harry's arm, the poison of which nearly kills him.
 
== Analysis ==
 
The monster in the Chamber of Secrets, in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Chamber of Secrets|''Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets'']] is a Basilisk. The process of discovering this is a slow one, both for the reader and for the Trio. The first clue, which happens barely a week in to the term, is the disembodied voice that [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Harry Potter|Harry]] alone can hear when he is doing his detention with [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Gilderoy Lockhart|Professor Lockhart]]. In retrospect, it becomes obvious that Harry can understand it because he is a [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Parselmouth/|Parselmouth]] and can understand snake language; to Lockhart, and to anyone else in the vicinity, what Harry hears as a voice is only a low hissing and sizzling sort of noise. As the Trio leave [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Nearly Headless Nick|Nearly Headless Nick]]'s Deathday party, the voice seems to be proceeding upwards between floors without benefit of stairs or anything else; while we have been misled so far into believing that this voice may be coming from something without a physical body, in retrospect again it becomes obvious that the creature is travelling through the pipes. The Petrification of Mrs Norris is another clue, and the dead roosters that [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Rubeus Hagrid|Hagrid]] is waving about at the time [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Justin Finch-Fletchley|Justin Finch-Fletchley]] and Nearly Headless Nick are Petrified, is of course a final clue. While much is made in the story of the fact that spiders fear Basilisks, to the point that [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Aragog|Aragog]] will not speak its name, this may be an addition to the Basilisk legend by the author; as such, it is a clue for the Trio, specifically for [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Hermione Granger|Hermione]], but not necessarily for the reader.
 
Basilisks are impossible to control, except by Parselmouths. A Basilisk would be a dangerous servant, as even its master cannot look into its eyes. As such, they do not play much further part in the story; while it's certainly true that [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lord Voldemort|Voldemort]] can control them, even under that control they would prove as dangerous to his allies as to his enemies.
