Cockatrice

Cockatrice

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.
