\\nCreaturology
\\nCockatrice
\\n
\\n \\t* French: cocatris
\\n \\t* Medieval Latin: calcatrix
\\n \\t* Ancient Greek: ichneumon
\\n \\t* Means: Tracker
\\n \\t* Two-legged dragon or serpent with rooster\\u2019s head
\\n \\t* hatched from an egg laid by a rooster, and incubated by a toad (or according to some tales, a snake)
\\n \\t* Sometimes synonymous with basilisk, but basilisks are traditionally depicted without wings so they\\u2019re not quite the same.
\\n \\t* Can kill people by looking or breathing on them, or by touch alone
\\n \\t* Dies upon hearing a rooster\\u2019s crow, or from looking at itself
\\n \\t* BBC Merlin\'s cockatrice looks like an oversized Komodo Dragon with wings, so not at all like a cockatrice from legends.
\\n
\\nCockatrice
\\n
\\n \\t* Enormous spiders that live in the caves in the forest of Balor.
\\n \\t* Don\'t like light.
