The ledgend:

The cocatrice is the spawn of an Old Roster's egg, he is an embodyment of evil or so it seams *Though mine might not be*. From him spawns Basilisks, horrifying dragonic creatures that make any creature turn to stone simply by gazing at it. Cockatrice are called the kings of serpents and can scatter any snake or lizzard from anywhere, even the great Dragons cower at this king's hiss.
Cocatrice tend to be two legged, with the legs, head and wings of a Cockrel/Chicken, and the body/ tail of a serpent. Basilisks are four legged serpent like cratures with bird like heads or features.

Apon further studie it seams Basilisks are the female, and Cockatrice the male of this odd species! The gender is determinded by either a toad or a snake hatching the egg!

The facts:

Now most of the above is true, Female Cockatrice are known as Basilisks or "lisks" for short, males are the flighted Cockatrice or "trice". As a species any of these two may be refered to as "Trice".

Wilds, rares and commons:

Wilde Trice are protected by the reserve, thay date back to a time not known maybe to teh birth of birds, original trice show there heratige by looking either like a rooster or iguana in plumage. Thay are not normaly up for sale as there not known to be as effectionate as common or the rare captive domestic varyitys, I'f by chance you get one, be warned, thee barely studied.

Common cocoticia domestica are the pets commonly sold here, thay are bread in captivity and honed to show a wide unique varity of colours, attitudes and devotions. these tend to bond to there owners best and are known to breed, interact and generaly are better pets.

Rare species are off shoots, these types can show super talents in and of an eliment or divinity. These are as noted rare. select few will be delighted by there presence. thay truly are the kings and queens of there eliments. These are also some of the most inteligent and loyal pets.

Now Cockatrice are the species of corse, but there may be some confusion as to Where basilisks come in on this. This post should clear that confusion.


User Image
This is the male Growth Chart. The male is Determinde by a toad favoring the egg. As you can see a male cockatrice Is more Avian, He can fly, tends to be very intelegent and can talk to some degree. He is known to be highly poisonus, King of serpents is a fitting term. Though he looks like a chicken he isn't, having may small rows of teath in that beak he is a Serpent and will be offended is called anything but. The hiss of the Cockatrice can frighten even a dragon!

User Image

User Image
The female is called a Basilisk, she cannot fly but has a beautiful fin on her back that helps her swim very well, in fact she can run on water! Basilisks have a very potent gift, she cannot scare dragons but can turn them or any other creature literaly to stone with those large huge eyes, her other prominent feature. More dragonic the basilisk tends to be sedate and loves sun. Also offended if called a bird.

Additional notes:

Sub species of the cockatrice can be found though there rare mutations, most distinct features only start to show in teen stages.
The list to date is:

~Aquatics *Water elimentals*
~Pyros *Fire elimentals*
~Aurums *Air elimentals ,Flying females!*
~Serafimic *Angelics*<UBER RARE>
~Noctralis *Demonic* <UBER RARE>

Please read all the Rules and FAQ befor Buying a Pet

Most Important! Read first!:
Quote:
#1. No art theft. Under no circumstances are Dragoil's images to be copied, edited or redistributed. I will keep a very detailed record of who has what, so no funny business! (Only Owners can Direct Link, only colourists may manipulate) . Those caught stealing or reselling without permission will be reported and listed! (and I'll need to use my extra space for a black list and we don't want that!)

#2. No Reservations. There will be none. Period. Don't ask. Outright buying only or Pet trades.

#3. There are no owning limits. You may own as many Cockatrice as you like.

#4. Be patient. Constant PM's and nagging won't make us work any faster! You don't want an angry Dragoil. Trust me.

#5. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions. If you have questions you can PM me. Or you can post your questions and/or concerns in the thread and I or one of my helpers will get back to you. Posting is preferred so my PM box doesn't get flooded.

#6. RP is optional, but encouraged. RP is currently done in shop, for those who want to, and we intend it to be fun! Please keep it PG-13. (Info Below in RP section)

#7. When a Cockatrice is Adult please host them yourself. Band width is limited! Posting the new link is loved.

#8. Show us you live once a month! Just post to llet us know your active and care for your pet. If not i may look you up, if you not active for more than a month I'll find another careing owner for your trice.

#9. Have fun! That's an order xd ! That's the whole point of Gaia! ^_^

Please note that the rules may change without notice at any time. I hold the rights to both the art and this shop, should anyone steal, edit or otherwise tamper with either I also have the right to fight legaly. Don't cross that line!

Q: How do we get a Cockatrice?
A: Well you can catch a Flatsale, Auction or raffle or wait out a Quest.

Q: Quest?
A: read the Quest Post below.

Q: How long dose it take for them to grow?
A: From egg to baby, roughly a week to a week and a half maybe more, maybe less. It realy depends on the toad or snake as thay are cold blooded its hard to warm those eggs! From baby to teen, one and a half to two weeks. From Teen to adult, Two to three. In total a month and half to two months depending, no more than that though.

Q: Do you Pet trade?
A: Yes and this is one of the only ways you can get me to colour a cockatrice. I am discriminatory though and just because you offered a trade dosent mean i'll take it. If your not on my list I'll look your pets over but may not say yes. Be warned.

Q: Are you hireing?

A: Only if there is a contest open and only for what is being offered.

Q: Do we have to RP?
A: No these are not an RP manditory pet. Mind you I need the shop to live so posting in shop is recomended, we like to know you are alive! If you donot post in shop atleast once every month I'll check you account. If its inactive for a long period of time you could lose your pet! BE WARNED.

Q: Can i get a custom?

A: Possibly, but thay cost, Customs/Cosplay full with line edits are 100k

Q: How did this person get a pet? There was no sale!
A: I do pet trades at all times and customs. Some times I may randomly give a pet to a deserving person who I feel deserves one. Yest another reason to haunt and help this thread.

Q: Why are some going for cheaper?
A: Ah! those are special, there cheaper because thay don't differ in colour at all, there carbon copies, But for those who can't buy a normal one there good ^^ mainly you get a changing editable image.. its debatable if the wiulds will breed in captivity.. possibly but maybe not.

Questing is to help those without the funds or luck to obtain a Cockatrice. 10% of whatever we make from the shop from this point on (whether in auctions, flat sale, etc.), and 100% of donations will go to Quests. Every month, I will pick (based on activity in thread or roleplay) one person, and they will get all the funds in the Quest pot for either a discount on a custom. That person keeps those 'points' they use them, and can keep adding onto them if they wish.

In order to sign up for Quest, just fill out the form below. Please PM this to me. I got this idea from Lady_Shinigami.

arrow You may only choose a Common species
arrow If I don't see you posting on the thread, I remove your Quest. If you aren't posting, you aren't going to win the pot anyways.
arrow You have to pay at least 25% on your own.
arrow You can alter your quest anytime you wish. Just tell me.
arrow Only those who sign up will get the points.
arrow Points keep accumulating as you win the pots and you may give away the points you earn to other Questers, if you wish.

Status: Open.
July Quest Pot: 1.5k
Searching For This Month: Most posting on main thread.
Former Quests Recieved: None.
Former Quest Pots Won By: N/A

Cockatrices are a NON-RP Pet, This dosen't mean you can't RP them, If you wish to RP your Cockatrice benifits will happen!

Rules:

~ As in all threads this is a PG13 RP shop.
~ Be kind no flameing cause someone dosent RP like you.
~ No god modeing. That at best is done by me IF there is an important event!
~No killing another persons paet, withought there approval anyhow.
~ Have fun!



The Setting:

Cockatrice are a pet from a period in our history, thay come from europ and as such tend to feel most at home in forrests, glens and castles.

Thay tend to band in rooks, Thats there chicken half comming to the surface.. but thats where it ends. Males may fight with there long back talons..but its a bloody affair.

Currently you stand infront of a hut, its thatched with lovely Tudor walls, a garden with a large hen house sits outside. Within that hen house is a host of basilisks and a great Cockatrice, the basilisks will stair at you if you look at them.. some stone figures are in the yard.. those who looked too long.
To one side is an extensive forrest and to the other a great lake. You crossed a rock bridge in order to get to the cottage. the bridge spanning a stream lading into the forrest and the only way to reach this bank.

Smoke billows outside as the fire inside warms the cottage. You know from your travles, several acres of forrest line this lack.. the Forrest and lake of the Cockatrice. The forrest is thick and imapssible.. only the beastes dwell there. The only habitation this cottage, is where most people encounter the tamer variety of the vicious species of serpent, you have quested to know the truth and here you are about to find out...


RP can be done here: > For now, done in thread <

Cockatrices do breed and usualy have clutches of one or two eggs.

The offspring usualy have colours and traits of both adults!

The use of the Facility costs a bit for maintinance though.
A charge of >Pending< Is needed for up keep.
