[Harry Potter] Since we know living creatures can be made into horcruxes (Nagini) and horcruxes become extremely difficult to destroy, why not turn a dangerous magical creature like a basilisk into one?

1. For the Basilisk specifically, it's full of Basilisk ~~blood~~ venom, something known to destroy Horcruxes.

2. Mythical creatures like the Basilisk tend to attract beast hunters seeking fame and glory. That's an unnecessary risk.

3. However much Voldemort overestimated his capabilities, chances are he didn't want to risk his own hide - pre-Horcrox - dealing with these dangerous beings.

4. He did turn a dangerous magical creature into a Horcrux: Nagini.

5. Since living beings have wills of their own, and have the general weakness of being mortal, they make rather unreliable horcruxes.
