Recap / The Dreamstone S 04 E 05 The Basilic

Go To

A comet passes by the Isle of Catastrophe, awakening a Basilic that has the power to turn paralyze anyone. The Urpneys try to use it against the Dreammaker, but he uses a mirror to render the Basilic paralyzed.

Tropes featured in the episode:

  • And I Must Scream: Subverted. According to Mr Blossom's account (or lack of), victims of the Basilic aren't aware when paralysed and wake up not remembering anything.
  • Butt-Monkey: Boff the Urpney - not only is he blown off the Urpney's ship twice, he's the first victim of the Basilic.
  • Comet of Doom: A comet wakes the Basilic.
  • Disney Death: The Urpneys assume the Basilic kills their comrades, in reality it just puts them in into a paralysing coma that eventually wears off. Mr Blossom and eventually the Basilic itself also fall victim.
  • Hoist by His Own Petard: The Basilic along with Blob, after the Dream Maker reflects it's stare back at them.
  • Know When to Fold 'Em: Without Blob to enforce commands, Frizz, Nug and Urpgor decide to just walk off after the Basilic is defeated.
  • The Paralyzer: The Basilic.
  • Weaksauce Weakness: The Basilic is vulnerable to it's own paralysing stare, so the Dream Maker rather easily neutralises it by dangling a hand mirror in front of it.
