*B is for Basilisk*

The problem with being a kid from the Harry Potter generation is that it's genuinely hard to find a **did you know** fact that seems unknown enough to be interesting. 

The **Basilisk** makes spiders run in terror? Duh!

Looking a basilisk in the eye is fatal, but seeing its gaze through another only petrifies you? Tell me something I don't know!

Basilisk venom can kill a person within minutes, and destroy Horcruxes? Well, now you're just bragging about paying attention.

But if you're wondering where the basilisks came from, the answer might be a little stranger than you think. While there are male and female basilisks, they don't breed. In fact, according to the works of Newt Scamander, basilisks are created by hatching a chicken egg under a toad. 

Not that you asked me, but that feels a little too easy for such a fantastical and deadly beast. It's almost enough to make you grateful the price of eggs makes basilisk breeding out of reach for us muggles.
