Basilisks

Basilisks are the signature summons of Kara Ri

Overview
Basilisks vary greatly in size, ranging from several inches to the size of a house. They're extremely prideful beings who will only allow shinobi to sign a contract with them once they've proven themselves worthy of their training. Generally they look like a large eight legged crocodiles with stone-like scales on it's back and a thick hide all around. Some older basilisks have been shown with gemstones growing from these dermal plates, though this is seen as supremely rare. The beasts have the ability to channel ambient nature energy into someone else in large amounts with merely a stare, and they often use this as a means of defense. While they have immense chakra reserves Basilisks aren't able to use ninjutsu at all, forcing them to rely on their petrifying stare and natural weapons for defense. Some rare examples have been shown to be able to use Genjutsu. In combat Basilisks rely on their immense size to deter attackers along with their claws, long tails, sharp teeth, deadly poison and petrification. In basilisk society names hold no meaning, and distinction is based upon outwards appearance and displayed abilities.

Sage mode
A shinobi using Basilisk sage mode will experience the following changes.
 * An increase in strength, speed and stamina.
 * An immense increase in the users physical durability.
 * The ability to grow and detatch stone plates from their body.
 * The ability to transfer large amounts of natural energy towards another's body by eye contact.
 * Wounds will heal faster while under the effect.
 * The user grows unable to feel pain.

The drawbacks of Basilisk Sage mode are as follows
 * If the user draws in too much natural energy in the attempt to initiate Sage Mode, they run the risk of transforming into stone. This is worsened by the fact that basilisk sages tend to gather natural energy much faster than others.
 * In order to gather enough natural energy to initiate the transformation into Sage Mode, the user must remain perfectly still. Because of that, the user can be an easy target for an opponent.
 * Because the user needs to move during combat, the Sage chakra cannot be replenished, which means the user can't stay within this state for extended periods of time.
 * After exiting Sage mode the users body starts to open any wounds healed during sage mode, thus removing the healing done and possibly killing the user.

On using this species sage mode the user's eyes will turn into a vibrant blue with no pupils. The user will also start to continuously grow thick scales on certain parts of their body.
