Cockatrice

Cockatrices are apparently small chickens found on Azeroth, thus far only represented by the Pygmy Cockatrice.
==Trivia==
*In classical representations, cockatrices look like a mixture of a rooster and a dragon or snake, as seen in the picture to the right. Between Blizzard's tendency to put their own spin on myths and traditional fantasy — and the high elven love of grace and beauty — it is no mystery why these scaly monsters were reinvented for their new incarnation.
*Depending on which source is used, the cockatrice is sometimes another name for the basilisk.
*"Cockatrice" was going to be the name for the blood elf racial mount, now known as the hawkstrider. Hawkstrider icons (for example, ) still use the term in their filenames.
==Speculation==
This may be the Darkmoon Faire's attempt at passing an ordinary chicken off as the more traditional mythical beast.
