Creature — Basilisk

Whenever this creature blocks or becomes blocked by a non-Wall creature, destroy that creature at end of combat.

Moss-covered statues littered the area, a macabre monument to the basilisk's terrible power.

Protection from Green does not stop the Basilisk’s ability because the ability is not targeted.

2004-10-04wotc

The ability destroys the creature at the end of the combat, which is after all first strike and normal damage dealing is done. This means that a creature may have to regenerate twice to survive the combat, once from damage and once again at end of combat.
