A cockatrice attacking a group of soldiers in Berserk chapter 332, [Source] Cockatrices could in some ways be considered lesser, feathered, flightless dragons, though their intelligence is in no way comparable. The neurotoxin stored in the sacks behind their beaks allow cockatrices to paralyze their victims before tearing them apart with their toothed beaks, all while their prey looks on in fear and pain. They are vicious, wanting nothing but to continuously consume anything they can fit in their beaks.
