Generally considered to be a real nuisance, the '''cockatrice''' is one of the more complicated creatures in the game. It can turn you to stone nearly [[instadeath|instantaneously]] if you touch it with your bare hands. If, however, you are wearing [[gloves]], you can pick it up and wield it as a weapon, turning enemies to stone instantaneously.
