General
Slim pickings for November, but there are some interesting things here and there.
3d printables: Cockatrice Mount from Epic Miniatures. A 3d model of "Mount Cockatrice" would be interesting too. Maybe someday...
After the Good Mythical Morning cloaks sold out, I guess a few other vendors took notice and jumped onto the bandwagon.
Etsy "Getsy" Premuim neon shirt
Same thing from LovingShirt
Same thing from ForAllShirt
And probably in a few other places.
Also ran across this from RedBubble? They say it's a "t-shirt dress"; an old design that is probably in the public domain..
Ever since the show Robot Chicken began I've wondered if there'd be a robot cockatrice. Maybe not a robot, but apparently there was an appearance! Seth Green voice acting credit for "Cockatrice". Looks pretty good!
History lesson about How the Turducken was hatched, and mention of the cuisine style cockatrice. Tasty.
A podcast, Bred to Perfection, about breeding chickens. Naturally, they had a cockatrice episode. It's about 23 minutes in, and they discuss various myths, appearances, and the awesome breeding program. :> It's why there aren't all that many of us running around...they brought up the poison version, but said it was saturating the feathers. Petrification came up later. They have a lot of stories about both male and female cockatrices, with in-depth details and a love of gold (sounds like dragons?) except if you mess with the gold trinkets they've arranged around a nesting area, they just abandon it and won't come back--you've "spoiled" it. They can't petrify you until full grown, but can poison you from hatching and they live to 30 (ulp...I'm way past over the hill).
They play a 15 minute skit, "The Farmer and the Cockatrice", at about 40 minutes in. Instead of a Deus ex Machina, there's....Deus ex Wikipedia. :>
Chaos Basilisk Boss Fight from some game called Fantasian. I have to say, that one guy is pretty chatty for someone who got taken out by "Death Stare".

I've been aware of TurDuckEn for a long time; they actually served it at an office party back in the 1990s. Still, I'm wary of anything the name of which starts with 'turd'...
