The Cockatrice
A rather comedic looking creature, the cockatrice is found to have the body and wings of a drake, with the head and legs of the common rooster. The creature is noted to stand as tall as a small hut, with the body length to match. Strangely enough, the beast maintains an uncomedic deep roar over the expected high-pitched squawk. Further inspection and interaction with the cockatrice has revealed a small pouch beneath the beak of the cockatrice. When enraged, the cockatrice inhales deeply, the pouch expanding and pulsating momentarily, before exhaling an ash-like smog. Should the smog come in contact with an individual, he/she will be cursed with a strange spell. This curse, now referred to as, “Stoning,” has been noted to thoroughly turn a victim to stone. Some say the flesh restores over time, some alchemists say they've been able to reverse it, but not many who are stoned survive the beast long enough to confirm the rumours. The beast has talons roughly as sharp as the common fighting blade, the strength expected of a massive beast, and the bodily scales maintain the quality of common iron.
Habitat
The creature is found to reside within vast cave systems and dense forests. Typically near civilization hubs, but remaining out of sight. Perhaps to feed on unsuspecting cattle or lone travellers. Typically the Den, or nest, of a cockatrice is lined with various straw-like plants, or fibres and is dotted with the bones of victims.
