Trivia

 * A cockatrice is a chimeric monster, born from a toad or serpent’s egg incubated under a cockerel. The terrible offspring that hatches from this egg is half-bird, half-snake, and all evil. It is one of the deadliest creatures to menace the mythological world, and it is extremely hostile towards mankind.
 * The cockatrice's most famous weapon is its dreaded gaze which is said to instant petrify anything and everything that meets its gaze. Second to the monster’s gaze is its putrid breath, so terrible that it can wither plants and incapacitate grown men. The monster’s venom is a third weapon. It is so toxic that it can kill a man from a meter’s distance. In one story, the venom travelled up a warrior’s spear, after he stabbed a Basilisk, and was so strong that it killed both the warrior and his horse upon contact. As a fourth weapon, the monster can use its sinister half-bird-half-reptilian hiss to madden, paralyze, or kill men.
 * It is said that the weasel, which secreted a venom deadly to the cockatrice, is the only animal that is immune to the glance of a cockatrice. It is also thought that a cockatrice would die instantly upon hearing a rooster crow, and according to legend, having a cockatrice look at itself in a mirror is one of the few sure-fire ways to kill it.
