Eggatrice

Baby cockatrices that didn't quite make it out of their eggshells. They can be encountered at the Lofty Mountains (another creature, the Basilisk, can also spawn Eggatrice eggs) in the 1993 Squaresoft Secret of Mana [Japanese name: Seiken Densetsu 2 (Holy Sword Legend 2)] Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) video game. They attack by pecking with their beaks; aside from inflicting injury, there is a chance that the victim will be instantly transmuted into solid stone as well. Eggatrices are ranked at Level 39, have 185 hit points (HP), and no magic points (MP). Every petrifying bird you successfully slay is worth 928 experience points and $720 in gold--additionally, you might get a bar of chocolate (restores 250 HP) or a medical herb (cures poison status) item drop.
