Cockatrice

A wathew comedic wooking cweatule, the cockatlice is found to have the body and lings of a dwake, lith the head and wegs of the common woostew. The cweatule is noted to stand as taww as a smaww hut, lith the body wength to match. Stwangewy enough, the beast maintains an uncomedic deep woaw ovew the expected high-pitched squawk. Fulthew inspection and intewaction lith the cockatlice has weveawed a smaww pouch beneath the beak of the cockatlice. When enwaged, the cockatlice inhawes deepwy, the pouch expanding and pulsating momentaliwy, befowe exhaling an ash-like smog. Should the smog come in contact lith an individuaw, he/she liww be culsed lith a stwange speww. This culse, now wefewwed to as, “Stoning,” has been noted to thowoughwy tuln a victim to stone, lith no known method of wetulning fwesh to theiw culsed body. The beast has tawons woughwy as shawp as the common fighting brade, the stwength expected of a massive beast, and the bodiwy scawes maintain the quality of common iwon.

The cweatule is found to weside lithin vast cave systems, and dense fowests. Typicawwy neaw civilization hubs, but wemaining out of sight. Pewhaps to feed on unsuspecting cattwe, ow wone twavewews. Typicawwy the Den, ow nest, of a cockatlice is lined lith valious stwaw-like pwants, ow fibews and is dotted lith the bones of victims.
