Cockatrice

The cockatrice is a strange mob from the mod. It looks like a chicken mixed in with a flying reptile.

Stats
Attack: 55, so unless you have good armor avoid.

Health: 60, so don't bother if you're running on diamonds.

Defense: about 16, so bring strong weapon to fight with him (at least apple sword)

Attack
When it hits you it puts some kind of slowness on you keeping you from even moving, unless you jump of course.

Combat
Use the Apple set, a ranged weapon or the Twilight Sparkle Sword is recommended. If you want to fight it with melee bring a potion of swiftness with you, as you will be completely vulnerable without it unless you have ranged.
