Origin
Mountains, caves
Nearly all of the races in the harpy family have small bodies, but these monsters are especially small even for one of them. They have wings, but they're too small for even their size, so they can't fly through the sky. However, instead they have powerful legs and they can scamper across the ground swiftly. They have extremely timid personalities and the moment they spot monsters bigger than themselves, or human men, they will run away. However, powerful pheromones that attract human men are released from the cockatrice's body, so they have a trait that contradicts their behavior. By means of this trait, cockatrices seek out men with quick legs like them in order to give birth to keen and swift children.
