Cockatrices Draconids
Journal Description
Had meself eight heifers, five of ‘em milchers. Then this cockatrice sprung up nearby, and now all’s I got left’s dried patties in an empty field.
– Jethro, peasant from Pindal
Foolish superstitions claim cockatrices, like basilisks, can kill with their gaze alone. That is utter nonsense, however, a cockatrice’s gaze being no more dangerous than that of an angry goose. One should instead watch out for its sharp beak and long tail, which it can whip to murderous effect.
