Combat
The cockatrice fiercely attacks anything that it deems a threat to itself or its lair. Flocks of cockatrices do their utmost to overwhelm and confuse their foes, and sometimes fly directly into their opponent's faces.
Petrification (Su): A cockatrice can turn beings to stone with a touch. Creatures hit by a cockatrice must succeed at a Fortitude save (DC 15) or instantly turn to stone.
Petrification Immunity (Ex): Cockatrices are immune to the petrifying ability of other cockatrices, but other petrifying attacks affect them normally (a medusa's gaze, gorgon's breath, a flesh to stone spell, etc.).
