HAPPY HALLOWEEN COMFIES! This episode is full of myths as well as myth busting! Basilisks may be petrifying to look upon, but is it because they have a fatal stare... or just because they're so utterly bizarre looking??? And where did the whole Don't-Look-Them-In-The-Eye thing come from anyway? Could it be cobras and their gnarly, squirting poison? We also deep dive into some seriously cool snake-related stories and may or may not throw some shade at a certain fantasy series...

Welcome back dndndummies listeners! Our patreon with an all new campaign is coming in August! In this party we pick up where we left off after finding statues of goats along a cliffside and investigating a near by cave. Shadow possesses a giant goat and pushes deeper discovering some Basilisks hiding in the cave.

Strap on your breastplate, pray to your chosen sky god, and bring your sharpest lance, for in this truly epic Bonus Episode we're going on a rip-roaring quest through the twisted history of dragons!Part of the "Three Ravens Bestiary" series, Martin and Eleanor start by chatting through modern ideas of dragons (and Wyverns, Wyrms, and Basilisks) before leaping back in time to discuss the first dragons ever written about, Mušḫuššu and Apep, along with the tales and customs associated with them as found in the earliest cradles of human civilization.From there, the scope of the adventure broadens, including trips to China, Japan, India, Ancient Greece and Rome, along the Silk Road, and into Norse mythology. Nowhere is safe, be it the deepest, darkest parts of Biblical and Middle Eastern mythology or the brightest lights in French, German and English art and literature. Yet, as they cut and thrust their way through Beowulf and The Faerie Queene, tales of Lindworms and questing knights, the works of Tolkien, Lewis Carroll, video games and much more, they wrestle with the questions that really matter.Like, what does the mongoose have to do with the history of dragons? And what sort of length should a dragon really be? And what do dragons actually represent when we encounter them in folklore?Try not to look the foul beasts in the eye, and ready your shield, for the time has come to tame the most infamous mythical creature of all...The Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays (Magic and Medicines about folk remedies and arcane spells, Three Ravens Bestiary about cryptids and mythical creatures, Dying Arts about endangered heritage crafts, and Something Wicked about folkloric true crime from across history) plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcast Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing how Slytherin's GIGANTIC Basilisk survived inside of the teeny tiny Chamber of Secrets for 1000+ years. Hogwarts is big, but not THAT big, and the Chamber (though extraordinary) doesn't seem nearly big enough to accommodate a 50 foot long serpent. We're first introduced to the Basilisk - which was the horrific creation of Hogwarts founder Salazar Slytherin, in the Chamber of Secrets. Basilisks are enormous serpentine creatures, the existence of which can be attributed to their original twisted creator, a dark wizard by the name of Herpo the Foul. A common misconception is that SLYTHERIN created the first basilisk, where in reality he merely created his own- the same one that resides within Hogwarts' secret chamber.

Thanks to Zachary, Enzo, and Oran for their suggestions this week! Let's learn about some interesting reptiles! Happy birthday to Vale! Have a fantastic birthday!! The magnificent Gila monster: The Gila monster's tongue is forked, but not like a snake's: The remarkable green basilisk (photo by Ryan Chermel, found at this site): A striped basilisk has a racing stripe: I took this photo of a basilisk myself! That's why it's a terrible photo! The basilisk is sitting on a branch just above the water, its long tail hanging down: The desert sand boa: Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. This week we're going to learn about three weird and interesting reptiles, with suggestions from Zachary, Enzo, and Oran, including a possible solution to a mystery animal we've talked about before! But first, we have a birthday shoutout! A very happy birthday to Vale! You should probably get anything you want on your birthday, you know? Want a puppy? Sure, it's your birthday! Want 12 puppies? Okay, birthday! Want to take your 12 puppies on a roadtrip in a fancy racecar? Birthday! Our first suggestion is from Enzo and Zachary, who both wrote me at different times suggesting an episode about the Gila monster. How I haven't already covered an animal that has monster right there in its name, I just don't know. The Gila monster is a lizard that lives in parts of southwestern North America, in both the United States and Mexico. It can grow up to two feet long, or 60 cm, including its tail. It's a chonky, slow-moving lizard with osteoderms embedded in its skin that look like little pearls. Only its belly doesn't have osteoderms. This gives it a beaded appearance, and in fact the four other species in its genus are called beaded lizards. Its tongue is dark blue-black and forks at the tip, but not like a snake's tongue. It's more like a long lizard tongue that's divided at the very end. The Gila monster varies in color with an attractive pattern of light-colored blotches on a darker background. The background color is dark brown or black, while the lighter color varies from individual to individual, from pink to yellow to orange to red. You may remember what it means when an animal has bright markings that make it stand out. It warns other animals away. That's right: the Gila monster is venomous! The Gila monster has modified salivary glands in its lower jaw that contain toxins. Its lower teeth have grooves, and when the lizard needs to inject venom, the venom flows upward through the grooves by capillary force. Since it mostly eats eggs and small animals, scientists think it only uses its venom as a defense. Its venom is surprisingly toxic, although its bite isn't deadly to healthy adult humans. It is incredibly painful, though. Some people think the Gila monster can spit venom like some species of cobra can, but while this isn't the case, one thing the Gila monster does do is bite and hold on. It can be really hard to get it to let go. The fossilized remains of a Gila monster relative were discovered in 2007 in Germany, dating to 47 million years ago. The fossils are well preserved and the lizard's teeth already show evidence of venom canals. The Gila monster is related to monitor lizards, although not closely, and for a long time people thought it was almost the only venomous reptile in the world. These days we know that a whole lot of lizards produce venom, including the Komodo dragon, which is a type of huge monitor lizard. In 2005, a drug based on a protein found in Gila monster venom was approved for use in humans. It helps manage type 2 diabetes, and while the drug itself is synthetic and not an exact match for the toxin protein, if researchers hadn't started by studying the toxin, they wouldn't have come up with the drug. The Gila monster lives in dry areas with lots of brush and rocks where it can hide.

Basilisks are some of the most charismatic reptiles currently living on our planet. Yet, not really known for their beauty, but rather more for their incredible ability to literally run across water. There are four species of Basilisk whose primary ranges are in Central America, with some ranging as far north as Mexico, and some ranging as far south as the the northern portions of South America. Generally, all four species of Basilisk are not in crisis, yet. Central America is a global conservation hot spot, as habitat destruction has pushed many species to the brink. We talk about this and more. This week is everything Basilisk and learning about just how they can walk on water is mind blowing and we feel privileged to share this knowledge with you.  HERE is just one of the many videos available showing a Basilisk running on water  For one cup of "good" coffee a month you can support your favorite podcast on Patreon and give back to conservation.

Sign up for our mailing list! We also have t-shirts and mugs with our logo! Thanks to Zachary for suggesting this topic! Let's learn about some sightings of what look like miniature theropod dinosaurs running around in the American Southwest! Further reading: All About Birds: Wild Turkey A collared lizard running (photo by Joe McDonald from this page): Basilisks running: A female wild turkey: A male wild turkey (note the tuft of hair-like feathers sticking forward, called a beard) (picture from this page): Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. Thanks to Zachary for his email a while back that helped shape this episode. Zachary has kept a lot of different kinds of pets, which we had a nice conversation about, and one of the reptiles he's kept as a pet is in this episode. I'll reveal which one at the end. But first, a small correction, maybe. Paul from the awesome podcast Varmints! messaged me to point out that the word spelled A-N-O-L-E is pronounced a-NOLL, not a-NO-lee. I'd looked it up before I recorded so that confused me, so I looked it up again and it turns out that both pronunciations are used in different places and both are correct. So if you've always heard it a-NOLL, you're fine, but now I can't decide which pronunciation I should use. This week we're going to learn about an interesting mystery of the American southwest. Even though non-avian dinosaurs went extinct 66 million years ago, occasionally someone spots what they think is a little dinosaur running along on its hind legs. They're sometimes called mini rexes. Many reports come from the American southwest, especially Colorado, Arizona, and Texas. For instance, in the late 1960s two teenaged brothers were looking for arrowheads near their home in Dove Creek, Colorado when they were startled by an animal running away from them at high speed. The boys said it looked like a miniature dinosaur, only about 14 inches tall, or 35 centimeters. It was kicking up so much dust as it ran on its hind legs that the boys had trouble making out details. They did note that it seemed to be brown and possibly had a row of spines running down its back, maybe even two rows of spines, similar to an iguana's. It had long hind legs and shorter front legs that it held out in front of it as it ran. The animal left behind three-toed footprints that the boys followed until they disappeared into some brush. The boys were familiar with turkey footprints but these were different, with the toes closer together and no rear-pointing toe prints. In April 1996, in Cortez, Colorado, a woman saw an animal run past her house on its hind legs, seemingly from a nearby pond. It was greenish-gray and stood about 3.5 feet tall, or about a meter. It had a long neck and long, tapering tail. She didn't notice its front legs but its hind legs had muscular thighs but were thinner below the hock joint. One night in July 2001, a woman and her grown daughter were driving near Yellow Jacket, Colorado when they noticed an animal at the edge of the road. At first the driver thought it was a small deer and slammed on the brakes so she wouldn't hit it, but when it darted across the road both women were shocked to see what looked like a small dinosaur pass through the headlight beams of the car. They reported it was about 3 feet tall, or 91 centimeters, and that it had no feathers or fur. Its legs were thin and long, while its arms were tiny and held out in front of its body. It had a slender neck, a small head, and a long tapering tail. The witnesses in both the 1996 sighting and the 2001 sighting noted that the animal they saw ran gracefully. They also all agreed that the animals' skin appeared smooth. Lots of dinosaurs used to walk on their hind legs, but the reptiles living today are all four-footed. There are a few lizards that run on their hind legs occasionally, though,

What supernatural creatures were scaring the miners of Wales deep underground? For centuries, those working hard in the dark have reported strange sights and sounds lurking in the mines. From the deadly stare of the basilisk to evil spirits and fire demons, this was not a place for the faint of heart. And yet the coblynau - the mine fairies of Wales - were said to be helpful souls who could lead the colliers to treasure buried deep in the caves. From friendly to deadly, were these creatures mere superstitions, or is there more to these tale of haunted mines? Join author Mark Rees (Ghosts of Wales) as he heads deep underground for a paranormal investigation in search of the supernatural sources of these strange superstitions on the Ghosts and Folklore of Wales podcast.   What is the Ghosts and Folklore of Wales with Mark Rees podcast?

Born from an egg laid by two roosters—and hatched by a toad—Basilisks were hybrid monsters who terrorized ancient and medieval Europe with their deadly gaze and even deadlier breath.

Basilisks: what if crocodiles could also turn you into stone? Forewarned is forearmed as we delve into the ecology and habits of these wizard-made beasts. Why should you never meet the basilisk-egg mafia in a bath-house, and exactly how practical is a basilisk-based chrono-prison? All these questions find their answers...at Monster High!

Born from an egg laid by two roosters—and hatched by a toad—Basilisks were hybrid monsters who terrorized ancient and medieval Europe with their deadly gaze and even deadlier breath.

The party have arrived in Andukhold late at night, expecting to conduct some simple business with Berden's contact... only to discover that his business rival, Girrion, seems to have gotten there first. Now they must claim the few remaining basilisks. But will Vela agree to fight such creatures? And will Herb remember why he has a fear of these monsters?

Trigger Warning - Domestic Violence - 53-55mins. Charlie and Hannah are back at it again for an episode that swings wildly between serious discussions of the racist implications of the word 'mudblood' and whether all the Basilisk ever wanted was a friend to chat to. All this is stirred up with Hannah's excited theory on the vanishing cabinet, Hogwarts being a shit school (what's new) and how on earth a ghost horse works.

The beautifully preserved skull has important stories to tell about the evolution of the lizards most famous for their ability to scamper across the water, but it also reveals what North America was like during a greenhouse world that wasn't all that different from what our planet's future may look like.

MuggleNet Academia is a comprehensive insight into the literary thematic elements and scholastic endeavors that author J.K. Rowling has provided in her writings of the Harry Potter series. We look through the entire Harry Potter series for various elements in alchemy, literary components, composition attributes, as well as available classes at Universities and Colleges around the world, and various unique studies that are being implemented today. In this Lesson, we examine some of the Fantastic Beasts found within the Harry Potter series and other Fantastic Beasts found within the schoolbooks from 2001. Joining us on the show is Dr. Melissa Aaron of California Polytechnic Institute of Pomona, California and Biology/Zoology instructor Jason Crean of Lyons Township High School and St. Xavier University and Aurora University. We also discuss what we hope to se within the new film series Fantastic Beasts as screenplayed by author J.K. Rowling. Thank you for listening.
