An inexpensive (and pretty short) game, Cockatrice Forest. Avoid cockatrices as you try to navigate through a forest full of them!
A repeat of a really beautiful 3d print, Basilisk vs. Cockatrice. They're both huge, both staring at each other. The seller is trying to frame it as a confrontation but perhaps there would be other twists we could put on it? Some eggs are visible on the base, one hatched. Maybe they're comparing parenting tips!
Rock the Dock Pub and Grill in Tacoma, Washington recently showcased Iron Cockatrice, a two man group playing strings and singing to a mostly inattentive audience. Keep playing guys, I'm sure your break will come soon. Keep on staring! Err, playing.
Timelapse of a drawing of the cockatrice from Witcher:
Demonstration of different emotes/poses for a cockatrice model as well as some other birds; I skipped right to the relevant part of the showcase. I recognize some of these as very similar to a dinosaur model on Second Life; I wonder if there's a connection?
And a repeat of a podcast I found a couple of years ago, I think...now set to an animated loop. But at least it has a badger in it! Hello from the Magic Tavern, season 2 episode 40: The Cockatrice. The link takes you to about the 9:40 mark where the interview with Patti the Cockatrice begins.
It was a tough month for basilisks of all kinds.
First, a story that could have ended badly but turned out well thanks to combined forces from the EU (I've read a lot of the forces were from Spain, specifically).
From EU Naval Force Operation ATALANTA:
Operation ATALANTA confirms the liberation of the Liberian-flagged Merchant Vessel BASILISK. The 17 crewmembers are safe, and the ship has been secured by one ATALANTA vessel.
The ship was attacked by suspected pirates yesterday 23 May whilst transiting the Indian Ocean, sailing approximately 380 nautical miles east of Mogadishu, Somalia, heading North.
Second, there's a Basilisk Youth Circus in Basel, Switzerland (of course). It was founded in 1969:
Theo Meder put out an appeal in the newspaper: "We are looking for children and young people who would like to join a circus." Around seventy boys came - thirty of them stayed, but none were sent away. The future artists were between seven and seventeen years old, and it was an unwritten rule that the boys had to do well in school too.
Some trained intensively in gymnastics and acrobatics; others as clowns, or other performers. Some parents chipped in to sew, do simple carpentry and other design.
But apparently around May 23 or May 24, There was a fire.
In the winter quarters near the Otterbach customs crossing, a one-meter-high burn hole appeared in the tent wall. As the circus writes, the flame-retardant material prevented even greater damage. Paper and wood that were not available locally were found in the ashes, which suggests arson.
The show must go on! But what a pity if it was arson.

And dangerous to watch.
