A male cockatrice has wattles and a comb, just like a rooster. Females, much rarer than males, differ only in that they have no wattles or comb. A cockatrice weighs about 25 pounds.

===Combat===

A cockatrice fiercely attacks anything that it deems a threat to itself or its lair. Flocks of cockatrices do their utmost to overwhelm and [[SRD:Confused|confuse]] their foes, and sometimes fly directly into their opponents’ faces.

'''Petrification ([[SRD:Su|Su]]):''' Creatures hit by a cockatrice’s bite attack must succeed on a [[SRD:DC|DC]] 12 [[SRD:Saving Throw|Fortitude save]] or instantly turn to stone. The save [[SRD:DC|DC]] is [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]]-based. Cockatrices have immunity to the petrification ability of other cockatrices, but other petrification attacks affect them normally.
