duroc (and anyone I may have missed) who thought of me when they saw something that would fit in this report! Thank you.
Art by Nelinka Rosenberg; the finished product as well as a WIP gif. Complete with nest!
A game called Dungeons of Hinterberg features a Basilisk's Roost dungeon where you face a...rather monsterous fellow. Nine eyes? Okay! There's a walkthrough of how to beat the poor fellow.
Our exploitation in RPG's has been going on probably ever since there were RPG's. Tricks are so old that that they show up on lists on low-content "news" sites. "Use the Cloak of Algernon to charm one of the basislisks" to farm XP? More like "Kiss the Cloaca of the basilisk who's gonna put an end to your little quest".
It wouldn't bother me so much except for the fact that despite looking cool, we are usually easy to beat--seriously, the poor guy lasts less than a minute, and he's a boss!
We need some better PR. So on that note:
T-shirts from a Haitian source: "Channel the transformational powers of Cockatrice" by wearing it!
Quite a few hits for a Turkish TV show named Shahmaran started coming up this month, apparently they've released season 2. I think the mythological being (from India) has appeared in these reports before. Shahmaran...what's the prophecy all about?
Want to learn Russian? An informative little report with the translation side by side to master important vocabulary words and phrases.
There are few creatures as terrifying as the cockatrice in mythology -- В мифологии есть мало существ, столь же ужасающих, как кокатрис.
In heraldry, the cockatrice is often used as a symbol of courage -- В геральдике кокатрис часто используется как символ храбрости.
And most importantly, where to find honest-to-goodness cockatrices not watered down by modern takes? Go to the real source: Петушиное яйцо.
A last bit from Russian sites: I don't recall this exact pose before though I could be wrong. Looks like there's a little barb in his tongue, and some nice spikes; not much in the way of feathers, though.
Speaking of modern takes and inauthentic cockatrices, watch out for NFT cockatrices eggs in various colors like brown or blue. These seem to be showing up in the Ukraine for some reason...though here's a Russian brown one.

Lots of cool stuff. Your welcome.! There was one running around megaplex but sadly did not get a picture

Really!? I’ve wondered off and on what a suit would look like.
It looked like a reptile chicken. Reptile tail, and chicken head. But sorry I screwed the photo shoot.

I'm glad you could use that link. More creepy stuff this month, like Shahmaran.

It still blows me away that there was a cockatrice Mega Man boss that shot eggs at you. Also, kiss the cloaca of a basilisk is an intriguing term. I might need to find a way to incorporate that into something somehow.
