Basilisk
From A Wiki of Ice and Fire
Basilisks infest the jungles of Yi Ti[1], in some places, they are used to fight other animals (such as dogs) as wagers are made on the outcomes. A basilisk is able to tear a dog to pieces.[2]
Basilics are venoms and are the source of 'Basilisk venom'[3], A paste spiced with basilisk blood, which gives meat a savory scent but which induces a violent madness in any creature with warm blood, whether man or beast.[4]
