Bite

Many creatures feature a bite attack, often in addition to other physical attacks. Biting a cockatrice (or a chickatrice) will immediately petrify the biter. Monsters/pets with bite attacks do not attack cockatrices in hand-to-hand combat, but being petrified by biting a cockatrice is a rather common YASD.
