Cockatrice

Where to catch the Cockatrice

The Cockatrice lives in Taiga (zone 7 of 17), in the front part of the zone. It is number 1 of 5 in the Taiga index. A full-strength throw needs roughly 1,000 – 1,250 Throw Power to land in Taiga.

Foods that land here: Bacon (~$150B), Burger ($1.3T), Shank ($6.8T), Fillet ($57T). A higher-tier food pushes the roll toward the rarer end of the Taiga list, so the newest food you own is always the best bait.

Any throw that lands in the front part of the zone can produce it. If you are hunting it for the index, lower your throw strength with the gear icon until the food lands on that spot – distance inside a zone decides which animals can come.

Is it worth keeping?

• A plain Cockatrice earns 3.2x a plain Griffin, the best animal from Mountains.
• The best plain earner here is the Fenrir ($100B/s), 13x this one.
• The first animal in Winter, the Husky, makes 38x as much – once your throws reach Winter, replace it.
• Keep it longer only if it rolled a strong mutation or size (see the table below) or you need it for the index.

Cockatrice income by mutation and size

A plain Cockatrice makes $8B/s. Mutations and sizes multiply that number, and the two stack. The table below multiplies the plain income by the multipliers I have measured (Gold ×1.5, Diamond ×3, Emerald ×5, Ruby ×10, Rainbow ×20; Big ×2, Large ≈×4.3, Huge ≈×9, Colossal ≈×18.5, Gigantic ≈×37). Treat the size columns as estimates – real catches land a little above or below. With the 2x Cash gamepass every number doubles.
