Helmeted basilisks (Corytophanes cristatus) use their cryptic color pattern as a defense, usually remaining motionless on a vertical limb.
When threatened, they increase their apparent size by stiffening their legs to raise their body, depressing the head in order to raise the crest and by expanding the throat fan.

In Corytophanes and Laemanctus, both sexes sport large head crests and casques; in the highly sexually-dimorphic Basiliscus, only the males have crests (and males grow faster than females after their first year of life.
Corytophanes and Laemanctus, which together form a clade, are highly arboreal, living in the forest canopy.
Corytophanes uses its crest in a defensive display, orienting its head towards predators such that it appears larger than it actually is. Corytophanes is also a sit-and-wait predator, catching prey items once a day or less, but regularly eating items half as long as its own body.
