"Basilisk" & "Cockatrice" are two names for the same creature. http://www.pantheon.org/articles/b/basilisk.html
Some more contemporary sources, such as Dungeons & Dragons have made a distinction as if the two were different creatures.
Pyroclasm wrote:Whether or not the name was later developed to describe the rooster-headed version isn't the point. It's still a basilisk, just as the human-headed version is also a basilisk. So if the guy wants to call his cockatrice a basilisk, he is perfectly correct in doing so. They ARE still the same creature, only different in appearance. Much like a Sasquatch, Yeti, Skunk Ape, Yowie & Bigfoot are all different names for the same creature. (And that creature too, has developed different appearances).
I provided a handful of the plethora of sources easily found on Google. Obviously that is not the case.But the rest of the world does. They stopped being the same creature hundreds of years ago. Things change over time It's not called a Basilisk anymore. Youre the only one that doesn't understand this.
