Battle[]

FFVIII Electric Discharge

Electric Discharge.

Cockatrices use physical attacks. When they are alone, they can use Electric Discharge to damage the party or inflict Petrify on a party member. They can also use the latter as a counter to magic attacks.

Cockatrice drops Dynamo Stones that raise compatibility with Quezacotl, and Coral Fragments, which teaches Quistis Electrocute, a Blue Magic spell.

Triple Triad[]

TTCockatrice

Cockatrice is the final Level 1 Monster Card in the Triple Triad card inventory. It can be used for playing the minigame, and for turning into Cockatrice Pinion with Quezacotl's Card Mod. Further refining the pinions into Breaks is the earliest the player can amass the spell.

Etymology[]

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.
