Poison (Resist HT-6): 3d toxic to anyone who comes within 20 yards of the cockatrice, and again if someone comes within 10 yards.

Critical failure means a heart attack.
Talons (12): 1d-4 impaling. Reach C. After a minute, resist HT-6 or take 1d toxic damage; if the victim loses more than 1/3 of his HP to the poison, he is at -3 to all attributes. Critical failure means a heart attack.
