According to [[Lands of Conflict]], [[dragonhawk|dragonhawks]] are used as ground based transportation until they are old enough to fly. A dragonhawk has both avian and reptillian features, as does the typical rendition of a cockatrice, hinting at a relation between the two.

In classical representations, cockatrices look like a mixture of a rooster and a dragon, seen in the picture to the right.

Depending on which source is used, the cockatrice is sometimes another name for the [[basilisk]]. See [[Myth]] for more information.

In recent patches of the [[World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade]] Friends and Family Alpha testing the model for the cockatrice has appeared. It has the same features as a [[Tallstrider]] but with more feathers and a darker, more rainbowlike color theme. Comes in a variety of bright colors, and has a thin, curved beak and burning orange eyes. Epic versions include small armor on its chest and head.

It is said that the name "Cockatrice" has been replaced with "[[Hawkstrider]]" due to many complaints about the original name.
