Other information

The snowy cockatrice has the ability to look at you during combat, which causes you to spin away from the melee and suffer a six second RT. 

A snowy cockatrice turns its gaze in your direction and you begin to feel strange.  Quickly you spin away from the melee!

Like its cousins the cockatrice and the plumed cockatrice, the snowy cockatrice has a staring attack which may immobilize, calm, or depress an opponent. Remaining in offensive stance may mitigate the effects of the attack. 

You struggle to resist the cockatrice's mental attack, but to no avail!  Your resistance is replaced with submission as your arms drop to your sides and you kneel before the snowy cockatrice!

A snowy cockatrice focuses its eyes on you!

A wash of dread and hopelessness floods your senses as you realize that you have no chance to survive against such an awesome foe!
