The imagination of inhabitants of Alpine areas has generated various mythical animals. The difficult access to wild areas, the isolation of populations and the fear of a largely unknown nature has thus given rise to many fantasy creatures that are added to devils, masks, gnomes, etc. Among these animals, one of the most mysterious is the basilisk.
Little known outside the Alpine areas, it has experienced an increase in fame and popularity after being included in the Harry Potter saga.
