I know I'm becoming a nuisance what with niggling constantly over species, but I'm pretty certain that's a cockatrice. You know, like that thing Raven put in our hallway.

It probably is. I need to dig out my copy of The Encyclopaedia of Things That Never Were.

Pretty hardcore park if it has a cockatrice in it, though.

miss_adventure October 1 2006, 06:41:30 UTC

It has the entire Mad Hatter's Tea Party in it, too.

We love you cockatrice!!!!! :-)

And it loves turning tourons to stone! (Not really, which is sad, but we can keep hoping.)

Yay! Wikipedia has been promoted to become a fantasy world online :-) :-) :-)

I believe you. I shall edit accordingly.

How charming is it that you have a friends list full of people who know their griffins from their cockatrices (cockatrii?)? ;)

miss_adventure September 29 2006, 15:35:36 UTC

It makes me glad that they're on my friends list. (Seriously--no sarcasm whatsoever in that statement.)

It's gorgeous work, no matter what sort of beast it is.

Gotta love bronze that's gone green. Especially when it guards the entryway to a castle.

Looking a cockatrice in the face, like a basilisk, is supposed to result in instant death.

However, since this is a bronze one, I only ended up with a kind of tired feeling afterwards...

miss_adventure October 1 2006, 06:43:16 UTC

I was blaming the Job(TM) for that tired feeling.
