Fear

The Cockatrice causes fear as described in the Psychology section of the Warhammer rulebook.

Petrify

The gaze of the Cockatrice can petrify its opponents, turning them into stone and slaying them. The Cockatrice may use its magical gaze in the magic phase. This potent spell has a range of 8" and can be used against one model that the Cockatrice can see. The target can try and avoid being turned to stone by looking aside quickly. If a model can roll less than its initiative value on a D6 then it looks away in time and is unaffected; otherwise it is turned to stone. On a roll of a 6 the target is always affected, even if its initiative is 6 or more.
