Veldyskar

Veldyskar was an intelligent basilisk living in Gravenhollow in the late 15 century DR.

History
A stone giant visitor to Gravenhollow donated Veldyskar to the keepers of the library to act as a guardian and general-purpose helper untold years before.

During the Rage of Demons, the basilisk met an expedition led by some adventurers, hired by Bruenor Battlehammer to investigate the threat of a demon lord, at the gate of Gravenhollow.

Personality
Veldyskar's philosophy during fights was to petrify first and ask questions later. To avoid problems, the keepers taught him how to cast a greater restoration spell.
