January Part one!
9 months ago
Keeping up with the slight increase in frequency of updates, so long as I have material to draw from: first BasilCockWatch of the year!
Lego build designed by Ids de Jong, the Lego cockatrice. Skinny whiplike tail, but massive size; it's a whole diorama with a puny knight to finish off.
A fidget spinner that I couldn't get to display correctly without clicking on the big blank field where a preview picture should be. Looks like it spins around and has a moveable tail. A 3D model free for download. They claim it's "AI free" which may be more and more of a thing in the coming years.
See a list of different appearances of cockatrices in heraldry at wikimedia. I think I've seen some of them before but the one with the chain leash was new to me.
A company I've mentioned before, UKPosters, has a new design for a cockatrice basilisk medieval dragon mythology monster. All right marketing team, way to use those tags! It can be ordered as a simple print you hang on a wall, to a huge wall mural. And they're cheap! (Cheep Cheep, Hatchday coming right up!)
Get a game from Steam, Siralim, and find out which cockatrice is the best. From the Cave Cockatrice, with its Weird Dance trait that gains 2 random traits that belong to the same race as the first creature in your party, to the Contagious Cockatrice, where at the start of battles your cockatrice creatures gain a random cockatrice trait, and ultimately their capstone skill, Sigil of the Cockatrice. If all creatures in your party are cockatrices, enemies are always Confused, with a 50% chance of attacking or casting harmful spells on their allies. I know I could have used something like that all those times gangs armed with mirrors came looking for me!
January 14 was "Little Christmas", also known as the Serbian New Year. It's a holiday for the Orthodox Church and it came up in my searches due to references to a certain Father Basilisk, written about by Father Zosima, one of his students. He had good advice, I think: "...we should regulate our life in such a way that we are in harmony with the conditions and place in which we live." Next year I'll try to remember to light a candle at a crossroads in honor of Father Basilisk!
