Cockatrice

Cockatri are large reptillian creatures belonging to the Basilia family, bearing traits of roosters and dragons. They have feathered over bat wings and a long tail, adorned with plumes. Their beaks are serrated, and they only have 2 fangs that are in the gum that dispel venom. However they don't usually bite and inject like snakes, they spray and flick it outwards using their tongue, while their spines and claws all can inject vendom.

There's a popular myth that staring into the eyes of a Cockatrice turns you to stone. However, the Cockatrice instead can actually capture the full attention of anything staring into their eyes, and while unable to move, the victim is capable of thinking, however this is only extreme in the larger species. This phenomenon is called Petrification.

Relations
The Cockatrice is in the Basilia family, and is related to Hydras, Basilisks, Serpents and Hippalectryons. The Basilia family are the closest related to the Drako family. There's a rumor that domesticated chickens evolved from Domestic Cockatri, which is likely following the visual similarities and the connection between the Drako family and dinosaurs.

Human Mythology
In Human Mythology, the Cockatrice is on par with the Basilisk, and is a two-legged dragon with the head of a rooster. The Cockatrice/Basilisk is prominent in Elizabeathen literature and theatre work, used as a derogatory term.

It was said to have the ability to kill people by either looking at them, touching them, or even breathing on them, while the weasel was the only animal that would be immune to the glance of the Cockatrice. It would die instantly upon hearing a rooster crow, and seeing itself ina  mirror would also kill it.
