	Cockatrice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A cockatrice is a legendary creature, "an ornament in the drama and poetry of the Elizabethans" (Breiner).
		The cockatrice was invented in the late twelfth century based on a hint in Pliny's Natural History, as a duplicate of the basilisk or regulus, in appearance resembling a giant rooster, with a lizard-like tail.
		It was supposed to be born from an egg laid by a cock

		The cockatrice is about the size of a large goose or turkey, and has the head and body of a cock, with two bat-like wings and the long tail of a lizard tipped with a few feathers.
		Frequently mistaken for its less malignant relative, the pyrolisk is virtually identical to the cockatrice except for the single red feather in its tail and the reddish cast of its wings.
		Whereas the cockatrice is motivated by instinct alone, the pyrolisk revels in spreading mayhem.

	Cockatrice - International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
		The name "cockatrice" appears to be a corruption of Latin calcatrix, from calcare, "to tread," calcatrix being in turn a translation of the Greek ichneumon, from ichnos, "track" or "footstep." Herpestes ichneumon, the ichneumon, Pharaoh's rat, or mongoose, a weasel-like animal, is a native of northern Africa and southern Spain.
		According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, 11th edition, the cockatrice was believed as late as the 17th century to be produced from a cock's egg and hatched by a serpent, and "to possess the most deadly powers, plants withering at its touch, and men and animals being poisoned by its look.
		The Biblical references (the King James Version Isaiah 11:8; 59:5; Jeremiah 8:17) are doubtless to a serpent, the word "cockatrice," with its medieval implications, having been introduced by the translators of the King James Version.

		Cockatrice is another name for Basilisk, not the basilisk that we know today, a small lizard capable of running on water, but the king of the serpents.
		Some reports indicated that despite its wings, the Cockatrice was unable to fly, and therefore bounced in its coiled tail as depicted.
		The belief appears to have extended to adults at certain points in history, leaving one to wonder if it was not a bogey tale gone awry, feeding upon the superstitions of people living at an unpleasant, threatening, and leisureless time.
