Cockatrice

[Back to creatures]

Cockatrices are strange creatures to behold. With the head and feet of an average rooster, but the scaly body of a wyvern, some have described them as almost cute, in an ugly sort of way. Up close, however, Cockatrices are anything but cute.

Their vicious talons and toxic breath make formidable weapons, and despite their smaller size, they are nonetheless dangerous predators.
