Cocatrice

Danger rating ***
Of course we now come to the epic, and most lovely Cocatrice. If you were to look at this dragon your first thought would be of a phoenix. Indeed it is sometimes thought that cocatrice are crosses between phoenixes and wyverns. They greatly resemble a bird with brilliant plumage, but still something reptilian lingers.
Some have believed cocatrices to be the inoccent Canadian dragons. In fact they are quite scheaming. Many cocatrices die just after birth. Because of this cocatrices, like most dragons, are slowly dying out.
Although Cocatrices are mischevious they have been known to bring great wisdom to man kind through thoughts and idealism. They have the power to communicate through dreams, and often use this for influence on mortals, whether for the good or bad.
It has also been said that cocatrices live off of thought alone, and this is why they can survive the rough climate.
