The magic at Glandus High was tasty, but I hope yours will be more filling.
—The Inspector to Amity, "The First Day"

The Inspector is a minor character in The Owl House. She is a greater basilisk who was disguised as an inspector from the Emperor's Coven.

Appearance[]

Body[]

In her witch disguise, the Inspector has pale skin and indigo hair held up in a swirled bun. She has pointed ears similar to those at Hexside.

In her true form, the basilisk retains the Inspector's hairstyle, except her skin is pale yellow, her green eyes are frog-like and droopy, her dress is torn and widened, and her entire body takes a large, serpentine form. She also grows webbed ears, claws, and sharp scales on her arms. The basilisk's mouth opens up abnormally wide, and it has sharp teeth to swallow enemies. According to Hooty's board of Beast Demons, she, as a basilisk, is counted as a Beast-type.[1]

Clothing[]

In her witch disguise, she wears small, tinted glasses and has a red lower lip and green eyes. She wears a gray dress with a yellow badge, one epaulet, and black gloves. After going into her true form, she continues to wear this outfit, but it is ripped to shreds with her gloves being destroyed and her glasses falling off.

Background[]

The Inspector's exact origins are unknown, but she may be connected with the basilisks who were revived by Emperor Belos.[2] Under the guise of a school inspector working for the Emperor's Coven, the greater basilisk first attacks Glandus High, draining the faculty and student body of their magic. She then set her sights on Hexside School of Magic and Demonics. She attacked several students and faculty, only to be defeated by Luz, Viney, Jerbo, and Barcus who dropped sandbags onto her stomach, in an effort to force her to return all the magic she stole. Her fate afterward is unknown.[3]

Luz later mentions the Greater Basilisk and her actions when she learns about Vee's past.[2]

Powers and abilities[]

  • Shapeshifting: The basilisk can disguise herself to look like a regular witch.
  • Magical absorption: The basilisk has the ability to absorb any spell circle created by a witch, as seen with Principal Bump and Amity. Aside from spell circles, she can absorb magic by devouring vessels conjured by spells, such as the plants conjured by Willow and its illusory enhancements from Gus. By absorbing the magic, the basilisk is able to suck out the energy and power from anyone who attacks her, leaving them weak and frail. However, she cannot absorb magic from spells conjured through a glyph, and this type of spell can directly damage her.

Trivia[]

  • While Bump suspects the creature was working for the Emperor's Coven, whether they were behind her attack on Hexside or not (and if they did, their motive for doing so) remains ambiguous. This is partially hinted at in "Yesterday's Lie", where it is revealed the Emperor's Coven was secretly responsible for bringing the species back from extinction.
