"With age came wisdom. Sometimes wisdom came with an ass kicking, too. And nothing could kick ass like the whole world." -The character "Horn" ruminating on his circumstances. The Decaying Mansions of Memory, by Jay Lake.

I'm not sure about susceptible to their own glares, but I have basilisks as being susceptible to the glares of other basilisks
