* ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'' has both cockatrices and basilisks - the cockatrice looks pretty much like its mythological counterpart, while the basilisk looks like a large, fat alligator with six legs.

** There was also the pyrolisk, a far more dangerous and aggressive variant of the cockatrice. It could cause a victim to literally burst into flames, and unlike the common cockatrice, used its powers via gaze. Unfortunately, the only way to tell a pyrolisk from an ordinary cockatrice was a single red feather in its tail. The phoenix was [[Arch Enemy|its mortal enemy.]]

* In the ''[[Champions]]'' adventure ''The Great Supervillain Contest'', one contestant was Brother Basilisk, who had the superpower of (temporarily) turning creatures to stone.

* In ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'', basilisks are a type of creature that typically have "deathtouch" - [[One-Hit Kill|any amount of damage it inflicts to a creature destroys it outright]]. Examples include [https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=447310 Daggerback Basilisk], [https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=527495 Underdark Basilisk] and [https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=438731 Greater Basilisk]; those that lack deathtouch are given very similar effects, including [https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=39731 Serpentine Basilisk] and [https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=397398 Lowland Basilisk] (whose [[Flavor Text]] indicates that it turns victims into "flowstone", a form of 'liquid stone').
