''The sky darkens with crackling storm clouds with lightning snapping between each other as the nimbus rolls in. You guard yourself, searching for the source of this supernatural weather, when the dry rolling cloud descends upon you... the source IS the cloud! From the black, a thousand black chickens drop upon you with thunderbolts on wing.''

The aerial bombers and recon of the demon lord Bookbakoook the Mother Clucker, stormcockerels are unique among the chicken-flavored demonfolk in that they are actually competent flyers, their short useless wings flapping and somehow managing to keep them afloat. They fly over the enemy, laying down suppressive fire without care of non-chicken creatures below (and sometimes, not even then). They are Bookbakoook's eyes and ears, spotting everything and gossiping, reporting it back to their infernal mistress.

Stormcockerels are dog-sized chickens, black as night, with glowing red eyes and the smell of ozone and fried chicken. As their feathers brush against each other, electrical sparks crackle over their terrible form, and their beak is slightly curved like a bird of prey. In spite of the "cockerel" name, they are actually hens like the rest of Bookbakoook's minions. They are arrogant and quick to change their emotions, all of which are dialed to 11 and stuck. Some have wondered why Pazuzu, the self-proclaimed lord of every fiendish avian, does not bother to claim ownership of these feathered fowls. Some suggest that the demon lord wants nothing to do with the ridiculous sight of evil chickens, but Bookbakoook would claim it as a show of her power to resist the demon lord's control. Pazuzu was not available for comment.

Stormcockerel speak Abyssal and Auran, and the language of chickens and other domesticated birds. Most don't hear it, most of their time spent clucking in furious anger.
