Lore
Cockatrice is a deadly hybrid in medieval European folklore, hatched from a rooster's egg incubated by a toad or serpent, combining rooster features with a dragon's body, wings, and tail. Its gaze or breath turns victims to stone, and its touch is lethal, making it one of the most feared chimeras. Legends claim weasels are its natural enemy, able to kill it with their scent. It symbolizes sin, death, and the dangers of unnatural birth, often used in bestiaries and heraldry as a warning against corruption and the power of evil.
