Description:
Cockatrices are a type of dragon found throughout Europe, particularly
in heraldry. The cockatrice is a hybrid of a cock and a wyvern. It hatches from a nine-year
old cocks egg, incubated by a toad, on a dunghill. The cockatrice is also
known as the basilisk. Sometimes a basilisk will have a dragons head at the
end of its tail.
