The cockatrice is a Small emaciated appearing chicken with leathery bat-wings and a lizard tail. Known for a bite that can turn a creature to stone, cockatrices have an uneven distribution of males to females, known as a male-biased sex ratio. A higher male-biased sex ratio can be attributed to increased male competition for a mate, higher rates of female mortality, increased likelihood that males are the primary caregivers of offspring, and similarity of sizing between males and females. The most notable way to distinguish the male cockatrice is the presence of a red wattle and comb.
You cannot help but recall that time you slid your cock into the warm, mashed potato-stuffed orifice of a cooked turkey as you look at the lone cockatrice before you. It was one of the more unique experiences of your youth, but what else were you to do when left alone in the kitchen? Perhaps the cloaca of a cockatrice would be similar? Would he have two penile protuberances like a lizard? Or just one like a bird? Either way, you mentally remind yourself to avoid getting bit. On the other hand, wouldn’t that make you rock hard? You snicker aloud at your own dumb joke, alerting the cockatrice to your amorous presence.
Make a Performance check to determine if you can appear to be a potential mate instead of an easily amused idiot (DC 5).
On a success: The little lizard tail whips aside as the cockatrice spins to face you. His red wattle sways alluringly. You assume it’s an alluring wattle sway anyway. The avian eyes and beak give little away about the creature’s first impression of you. The comb on top of his head lifts slightly, creating a miniature crown effect. He holds his leather wings wide and puffs his scrawny chest upward. A mating dance, you think. The cockatrice begins to circle and you turn to keep him in sight, spreading your arms wide to mimic him. He gives a throaty cry just before he attacks.
Initiate combat with the cockatrice acting in a suprise round.
On a fail: The little lizard tail whips aside as the cockatrice spins to face you. He opens his beak and lets forth a surprising loud crow. Enough to awaken anyone nearby.
Initiate combat with an additional 1d8 cockatrices joining in the fight after a round.
