Venom

A Basilisk fang, coated with Basilisk venom and Harry Potter's blood

Basilisk venom is an extremely poisonous and corrosive substance generated by said species.

Overview

Basilisk venom is extremely powerful, and can kill a person within a little more than a minute at best, making the person drowsy and blurry-visioned before they die. The strength of the venom is one of the few substances known to be capable of destroying Horcruxes, causing them fatal damage that cannot be repaired. It only has one known cure: phoenix tears, which happens to be very rare, increasing the venom's deadliness.

The venom's potency is apparently extremely long-lasting, as Hermione Granger was able to use the venom from the fang of a Basilisk that was dead for nearly five years.

Basilisk venom is one of the few poisons that are not curable by Bezoars.
