	There are a lot of messages associated with cockatrices. I stumbled across one I hadn't seen before, "You try to feel what is lying here on the floor. There are a few objects here. Including a cockatrice corpse, unfortunately." Should the page have a section that lists and details them? --[[User:Phol ende wodan\|Phol ende wodan]] ([[User talk:Phol ende wodan\|talk]]) 16:51, 1 January 2017 (UTC)		There are a lot of messages associated with cockatrices.

		+	Having just seen much valuable loot destroyed in Fort Ludios by grenades, a question came to mind. If I whap a soldier with a rubber chicken, is the loot in his inventory protected from frag grenades? I was there for the bullets more than the gold, and wonder if changing my tactics would get me more loot next time. ——[[User:Emdoub\|Emdoub]] ([[User talk:Emdoub\|talk]]) 18:25, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

	NetHack 3.6.0 has them taste like chicken for stoning resistant or hallucinating heroes. Eating a corpse gives "This tastes just like chicken!" (followed by "you died" if you were just hallucinating, of course). The tin will also "It smells like chicken.". Which is interesting, because it means that random tins of cockatrice meat will no longer be a random monster and are always chicken, so it's "safe" to eat tins while hallucinating now. If you're sufficiently spoiled, at least. -- [[User:Qazmlpok\|Qazmlpok]] ([[User talk:Qazmlpok\|talk]]) 18:06, 13 January 2016 (UTC)		NetHack 3.6.0 has them taste like chicken for stoning resistant or hallucinating heroes.
