A sinuous, reptilian form culminates in an unexpected rooster's head, sporting a barbed beak. Restless bat-like wings cling to its sides, while scaled legs with wicked talons carry it forward. As it prowls, sniffing the air, the creature emits an absent chitter, a predatory symphony as it seeks its elusive prey.
The Cockatrice looks like a hideous hybrid of Lizard, bird, and Bat, and it is infamous for its Ability to Turn Flesh to Stone. These omnivores have a diet that consists of berries, nuts, flowers, and small animals such as insects, mice, and frogs-things they can Swallow whole. They would be no threat to anything else if not for their fierce and frenzied response to even a hint of danger. A Cockatrice flies into the face of any threat, squawking and madly beating its wings as its head dArts out to peck. The smallest scratch from a cockatrice's beak can Spell doom as its victim slowly Turns to stone from the injury.
