ArtistA cockatrice is a mythical beast, essentially a two-legged dragon, wyvern, or serpent-like creature. They are created by an egg hatched by a toad or snake.nThe word was used for the translation of various Hebrew words for asp and adder in the Book of Isaiah 11, 14 and 59. The Oxford English Dictionary gives a derivation from Old French cocatris, from medieval Latin calcatrix, a translation of the Greek ichneumon, meaning tracker. The twelfth century legend was based on a reference in Pliny's Natural History[1] that the ichneumon lay in wait for the crocodile to open its jaws for the trochilus bird to enter and pick its teeth clean.[2] An extended description of the cocatriz by the 15th-century Spanish traveller in Egypt, Pedro Tafur, makes it clear that this refers to the Nile crocodile.[3]
