description: Ugly and aggressive, the dread cockatrice stalks garbage pits and hillside
  dumps in search of prey that it can turn to stone with its petrifying beak and subsequently
  consume piece by broken piece. Cockatrices resemble gaunt and sickly roosters with
  bat wings and serpentine tails, and they rarely grow more than 2 feet tall and twice
  as long. Their absentminded clucking gives smart prey ample warning of their presence,
  and when angered cockatrices let out a shrill crow like that of a rooster. Their
  peck releases a magical toxin that causes flesh to quickly calcify, and any creature
  pecked repeatedly by an irritable cockatrice eventually transforms into a stone
  statue of itself.

- description: A peck from a cockatrice hardens the flesh of the creature struck.
    The target must succeed at a DC 20 Fortitude save or become slowed 1 (or slowed
    2 on a critical failure). Further failed saves against calcification increase
    the slowed condition. Once a creature's actions are reduced to 0 by calcification,
    that creature becomes petrified. Every 24 hours after it was petrified, the victim
    can attempt a DC 20 Fortitude save to recover. On a success, it becomes flesh
    again, but is slowed 1 for the next 24 hours. On a critical success, the creature
    recovers and isn't slowed. On a failure, the creature remains petrified, but can
    try again in 24 hours. On a critical failure, the petrification is permanent,
    and the creature can't attempt any more saves.
