All members were killed by hunters. Basil fled from the forest that was occupied by said creatures & ran away to the desert. He was wandering around for some time until he collapsed from lack of energy. Caspar found him & took him to Oasis, giving him some water & food to recover his strenght. Since that day they became friends & now are inseparable.

----------------------
Other:
- Neck is flexible enough to be moved around in all directions. It helps him during hunt & can avoid attacks well,
- Gills allow Basil to breath under water & through toxic air/fumes,
- Needle inside tongue is for catchng small prey,
- Teeth move like RE6 Iluzijas teeth. They can hide when snout is closed. Eyelashes protect his eyes from sun, dust etc.,
- Feet have small claws that can be put out like cats calws. It helps him catch prey in mid air or sit on thin lines, branches, wires etc. Small claw is hidden when he's running. Hands can hold items,
- The tails end has very shiny sharp, reflecting light strongly. It can be used to blind enemies,
- Whip-like flexible tail,
- Microscopic scales,
- The wings are shiny and reflect the colors like metal surface. The shade can be various but the original color is always from dark violet/lavender through light violet/lavender to white at the end of wing tip.
- He can see at night like all wyverns.
----------------------
Skills:
- The Spore fume - The spores are shot from Basils tongue in form of toxic fume. It looks like glitter mixed with cotton candy or cloud. These spores can be very easly absorbed. Their growth time varies on tissue they grow on. If creature has no protection, has fur or feathers, they grow fast. If creature has scales, shells & other hard material on themself, they grow slower. A spores form various fungi on preys body so basil has not only prey meal but also fungal meal. These spores cannot infect flora & elementals.
- The toxic spore injection - The end of tail is often used by basil to inject prey with fungal spores during attack. They infect lungs first in order to slowly suffocate the enemy, later they spread all across the inner guts, blood & nerve systems. If Basil shots prey directly into nerve, the mobility of a prey will slowly decrease over time, paralysing part of their body which was injected with toxin.
- Hunting methods - Basil can jump onto bigger beings & inject toxin into their body with tail/fangs. He strokes prey with his tail & bites their vulnerable areas such as shoulders, limbs, ankles, head.
- Harpoon shot - The tail is flexible & fast enough to be used as harpoon. Basil can catch fast land, aerial & marine prey with that method. A spike on tails end can pierce any biological tissue but has difficulty piercing very thick layer of hard materials (e.g.: titanium, diamond).
- Deadly dive - Basil dives in enormous speed, shotting bigger prey with his own body.
