I was going to suggest deletion, but then, to my surprise, I found three cites illustrating adjectival usage:
her gaze became more basilisk in its expression, and her countenance bore some similitude to that of a handsome fiend
- M. L. O'Byrne – 1884 Ill-won Peerages, Or, An Unhallowed Union - Page 126
Well, She is so basilisk ; there's no death in her eyes ...
- 1870 The British drama: illustrated - Volume 4 - Page 997
He had never seen her quite like this, so basilisk, so frightening
- Witi Tame Ihimaera – 2004 Whanau II - Page 167
Will these suffice? (If so, then I'll add then to the entry properly formatted. ) Dbfirs 09:49, 14 February 2015 (UTC)Reply
Those are sufficient, IMHO. —Mr. Granger (talkcontribs) 12:41, 14 February 2015 (UTC)Reply
