Cluckatrice is an Elite Mark in Final Fantasy XII. The hunt becomes available after the party has returned to Rabanastre after escaping from Barheim Passage, and is the first Elite Hunt given by Montblanc.
It is located in the Giza Plains during the Dry on Gizas North Bank. It is encountered after the player has defeated all other enemies (including non-hostiles like the giza rabbit), left, and reentered the area.
A Cluckatrice and four Chickatrices are also fought in the Zodiac versions' Trial Mode Stage 6.
If the player gets the Feather of the Flock key item before felling the Cluckatrice, the tame cockatrices at the nomad village during the dry season will complain about the cluckatrice having appeared.

Battle[]
Battle with Cluckatrice.
Cluckatrice is difficult to defeat, as it is flanked by three Chickatrices, its young. The Chickatrice will appear first, and when one of them are targeted, Cluckatrice will run out and target the first on the team to strike. It attacks quickly, as it has Haste by default and can slow and petrify characters. In critical health, Cluckatrice will gain the Attack CT0 passive, attacking relentlessly without Charge Time.
Cluckatrice will respawn if the player leaves the area without defeating all the Chickatrices. The hunt is not considered complete until both the Cluckatrice and all three Chickatrices are defeated.
Strategy[]
Using a Quickening combo often works as the easiest strategy. Activating a Concurrence will damage all targets, allowing the player to handle both the Cluckatrice and Chickatrices.
Another strategy is to cast Disable. It may take a few castings to connect, but while the Cluckatrice is unable to attack, the player can easily pick off the Chickatrices.

Etymology[]
The name is a portmanteau of "cluck", a sound a chicken makes, and "cockatrice". The Cockatrice is a creature from mythology. It is similar to the basilisk in appearance and ability, but also possesses flight. A cockatrice is born from an egg hatched by a rooster and incubated by a toad, and its gaze causes instant petrification.
In Japanese the name is a portmanteau of their word for "chicken" (鶏, niwatori?) and "cockatrice" (コカトリス, kokatorisu?).
