A multitude of sparkling gems grow on this egg's shell.
As the name specifies, these basilisks hail from the lands surrounding the waterfall of Dorr. Nowadays, they are found all around the world, as their beauty and ability to temporarily turn things into gemstones make them highly sought-after companions. They come in many colors, the gems adorning their bodies distinguishing each type of basilisk. For a long time, people believed the dorrian basilisks were related to the pearl wyrms as they love water, but they are nothing like the wyrms. Gentle and loyal, the dorrian basilisks love to be in the presence of humans and help turn things into gemstones whenever asked. They are considered valuable by most con men because of this, and many train dorrian basilisks to scam people. Magi continuously struggle to prevent this, but every few months, someone is convinced to believe their simple objects were permanently turned into gemstones. Only the gemstones magically imbued can remain in that state, but even then, the risk of objects returning to their original state exists.
