Cockatrice

A cockatrice is a magical rooster-like hexatherian with lizard-like features. They are fiercesome beasts preyed upon by few other creatures.
== Description ==
Cockatrices resembles large chickens reaching over 6ft tall with the comb having a dragon-like body plan lizard- or dragon-like parts such as a scaled tail.
==== Heat Vision ====
As a defense mechanism against small threats, such as the kurenai, the cockatrice can create heat with its gaze. Its eyes glow and the area it is looking at within 2–3 yards begins to heat up and can reach lethal temperatures.
==Habitat==
Cockatrices are found in semixeric and desert climates. In Odenna, they are found across southern Arcaitia in hills and brush, and in the Ashani Desert.
==Varieties==
There are a number of varieties found throughout Arden. There is a moderate amount of diversity, usually in feather and scale color, though height, tail size, plummage patterns, and scale patterns can vary greatly. The amount of feathers on the wings varies is the plummage pattern that varies the most between individuals and is indeed a mark of superiority and thus is sexually selected for.
