Look, A rooster can KILL IT.

That's it. A basilisk has the HUGEST chink in its armor. A dragon, while possibly not as powerful, is certainly more well-rounded.

I say dragon. Also, it takes 10 stunners to take down a dragon. (That's according to GoF. But it also depends on the dragon. Peruvian Vipers are smallest at 15' and can probably be brought down by less stunners.

 

This chink in its armor doesn't help the dragon unless it crows. Which, as far as I know, it doesn't.
And you don't know how many stunners a basilisk can take.

I would say basilisk. I think it's pretty hard to kill a creature if you die as soon as you meet its eyes. Especially as the eyes are the dragon's weak point.

If you disregard the stare, there's the fire in favour of the dragon. But as it has been said, it only has a certain range and I'm not too sure about its effect on the snakes. I've read that a boa constrictor survived a house fire without any problems.
In terms of physical fight, I'd say the odds are in favour of the basilisk again. The dragon may be able to fly, but I'd wager that the snake has speed and manoeuverability on its side. As far as the hide goes I'd say they are about equal.
Now while the dragon still has its claws which may or may not penetrate the hide, the basilisk has poisoned fangs. If they penetrate the dragons hide (considering that they were stopped by Harry's bone, I shall assume they don't) or the basilisk hits a weak spot (say, the wings), it would probably kill the dragon.

So, even without the glare, which I assume would work, I'm still putting my money on the basilisk.

 

As far as we know, Bas's glare kills HUMANS (And cats) we do not know it's effect on highly magical creatures (aka dragons). also fire melts eyes.

 

Dragon. it could pick the supid thing up in its mouth and droip it into ppen full of roosters, which are crowng cause so e large thing as landed in there pen without so much as a n invitation

 

The fang wasn't stopped by Harry's bone. It was Harry that was behind the strike - plunging a sword into its brain. NOT the basilisk lunging at him. I imagine a beast that size would have a bloody big jaw pressure/sq. inch - more than an alligator/crocodile I think, and they can easily snap bones.
I highly doubt a dragon would be able to pick up a 60ft serpant. It would weigh tons!
I'd assume the gaze works on highly magical creatures since the basilisk itself is a highly magical creature as well as the eyes of the dragon being its weak point.
Fire is a distinct advantage in favour of the dragon, accompanied by the ability to fly, but it has to get in striking range - which I think a 60ft snake would be able to reach. Cobra's and other striking snakes can lunge much further than their length, and 60ft is a bloody long way to lunge.
Manouverabolity is on the dragon's side (if its in an open area) but the speed goes to the basilisk. Fire is the dragon's biggest advantage but I don't think it would ahve too much effect on a huge snake - scales disperse the heat - like body armour.
Basilisks may be killed by crowing roosters but the likelyhood of finding a rooster to fight it with is very unlikely. Any sane basilisk owner will kill all roosters in the area beforehand. (As is proved by Ginslut in CoS)

Dragons may have the flight/manouvering but basilisks have superior speed and venom - one bite and its dead and death glare Vs. fire/claws/teeth which aren't guarenteed to strike a fatal blow.
Basilisks win in a fair fight me thinks but there is no such thing as a fair fight.

 

I'd have to go with Basilisk for this one.

 

I don't know, i'd say a dragon is more well rounded, but a basilisk has a higher "firer power". Probably the dragon htough. And a good wizard can kill a basilisk anytime. Roostorsosria anyone ?
Too bad i have never seen that spell in a fanfic. Y_y

 

I would say the dragon would win. I don't think the basilisks stare would work on a dragon and even if the dragons fire (which is certainly way hotter than a simple house fire) doesn't really work at the basilisk it can simply wait out of reach and throw stones or sth. at the basilisk. Maybe the fight would go a really long time, but the dragon would win.

 

Ahh! big fat bueatiful serpent or fire breathing flying reptile! who to choose! Dragon it could :a) roast it,
b)fly away
c) it's hide is hard to penetrate. i don't think even a Basilisk fang could get through.

 

Did i raed that right? I think you wrote:

A dragon can wait out of reach, and throw stones or something until it tires.

THROW STONES? wtf?

Forget the small matter of opposable thumbs, but i doubt a dragon, or an animal of any kind (except monkeys, who are notoriously good at flinging shit around...yes, shit) would ahve the brains to throw something at someone.

 

Look at it from this way, if they were fighting in an area most suited for a dragon, ei: open ground with lost of rocks and trees preventing the basilisk from coiling up. With the sky the limits i suspect a dragon might be able to dive bomb a basilisk and kill it before it can strick. Just ignore the fire right now, it's unlikely to even hurt the basilisk unless it hit the eyes. Same with the killing gaze, in raw strenght and power the basilisk would just overpower the dragon. On a level playing feild it would go to the basilisk, if that thing coils up it would pick the dragon right out of the sky when it came near. And underground the basilisk would havehome turf advantage and the dragon would lose its biggest advantage.

 

The basilisk may have a powerful strike, But the fangs are actually very weak when sideways force is applied. In CoS when harry stabbed the basilisk and had it's fang in it's arm, one jerk to the side caused the fang to break off. If the object the snake was striking at was flying, it could easily provide the necessary sideways force to break the fang. Another point is the dragon's thick hide. It would be suicide to attempt to physically pierce a dragons hide. imo, if the basilisk struck the dragon with full power, it would probably do more damage to itself than to the dragon. Dragon wins.

Just a bit of info, Dragons are Reptiles.

 

I don't know about that. The fact that a sword was driven into the roof of its mouth may have compromised the integrity of the fang, and if a dragon is like a reptile then its belly will be far more vulnerable to attacks then the rest of the body and in the air the belly would be the closest thing for the Basilisk to reach.

 

Uh, how could a blow to the roof of the mouth, not near the fang, weaken its integrity?

 

The sword being stabbed into the mouth could have weakened the roots of the fang, thus weakening the fang.
Also, even if the fang snapped off, the poison would still kill the dragon.

Personally I think that the basilisk would win, for the reasons posted by Aekiel (they are as follows)
