Feather Family Cockatrice: Gamepass Cost and Abilities Guide

The Cockatrice in Feather Family on Roblox is a mythical creature morph available through the Basilisk gamepass for 500 Robux. Designed as a hybrid of a rooster and a serpent, it features custom egg morphs, dimorphic adult models, hover flight, and a toggleable eye-beam magic ability.

Feather Family Cockatrice Overview and Stats

The Cockatrice was originally added to Feather Family during the Halloween update on October 23, 2020, alongside the conversion of the Flower Field into the Fantasy Field. In December 2024, developer GoldenAviary remodeled the Cockatrice and added the ability to texture its wings, while keeping the classic look playable.

How to Get the Cockatrice Morph

To play as the Cockatrice, you must purchase the Basilisk gamepass from the Feather Family store tab on Roblox for 500 Robux.

Once purchased, the pass permanently unlocks three selectable morph forms in your bird selection menu:

1. Cockatrice Egg
2. Cockatrice Hatchling
3. Adult Cockatrice (with toggles between Updated and Classic skins, as well as Male and Female models)

According to a developer Q&A on the Roblox Developer Forum, mythical gamepass birds are exclusive to Robux purchases and cannot be bought using in-game Feathers, ensuring fair value for players who spent Robux on mythicals.

Actions, Magic, and Movement Controls

The Cockatrice shares standard bird interactions while possessing unique mechanics tied to its mythical status.

The Eye Beam Magic Ability

Unlike the Phoenix, which breathes bursts of fire, the Cockatrice's Magic action is a toggleable visual beam. When activated:

• The Cockatrice emits bright square-shaped light particles from both eyes.
• A steady stream of light projects forward in the direction the bird faces, functioning like a focused headlamp in dark areas and caves.
• On computer, this is triggered using the 0 key.
• Magic works while standing, airborne, swimming, or being carried. If you use the Eyes action (7 key) to close your eyes, the light stops emitting until the eyes open again.

Flight and Movement

• Adult Flight: Adult Cockatrices feature hover flight (default key Q on PC, Y on Xbox, Triangle on PlayStation). When diving downward, the creature gains speed and produces custom flight trails along its wings.
• Chick Flight: While early game versions restricted hatchlings to the ground, an update in December 2025 gave both the Cockatrice Chick and Phoenix Chick the ability to fly short distances.
• Swimming: The Cockatrice is fully aquatic. In an April 2022 update, underwater swimmers including the Cockatrice were patched so they do not artificially bob to the surface while idling in water.

Model Differences, Dimorphism, and Remodel Details

In a community Q&A, developer GoldenAviary noted that the Cockatrice was one of their favorite remodels to build, citing the webbed wing beams, customizable materials, and a tail design partly inspired by the paddle-like tail of a Spinosaurus.

Updated vs. Classic Skins

When choosing an Adult Cockatrice, you can switch between the modern mesh and the legacy version:

• Modern Model: Features defined wing webbing, detailed feather-and-scale texture mapping, a rooster-like head crest, and custom flight line effects.
• Classic Model: The original blockier design introduced in 2020, retained so players who prefer the nostalgic look can keep using it.

Sexual Dimorphism

The adult form contains two distinct gender builds:

• Male: Features a prominent, curving rooster tail, distinct head wattles, and a sharper, aggressive call sound.
• Female: Features a more streamlined tail structure, altered facial geometry, and distinct vocalization audio. Both genders share the same flapping display animation and base movement speed.

Customization and the Cockatrice Egg

The Cockatrice Egg is unique compared to standard playable eggs:

• Appearance: Unlike regular rounded bird eggs, the Cockatrice egg is longer and narrower, resembling a reptilian snake egg.
• Customization Sections: Players can color both the main Shell (the base of the egg) and the Extra section, which controls the pattern of spots running across the surface.
• Advanced Customization: While standard wild eggs have basic color presets, gamepass eggs support advanced color tabs.
• Adult Customization: Adult Cockatrices allow full color customization across primary feathers, secondary wing surfaces, body scales, talons, and the magic glow color. The December 2024 update also added the ability to apply custom textures directly to the wing membranes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the gamepass called Basilisk instead of Cockatrice?

On the Roblox game page store, the gamepass is officially listed under the name "Basilisk (500 Robux)" with bullet points stating it unlocks the Cockatrice Egg, Cockatrice Hatchling, and Adult Cockatrice.

Can you buy the Cockatrice with Feathers?

No. In the official 2025/2026 Developer Q&A, developer GoldenAviary confirmed that mythical gamepass creatures will remain exclusive to Robux purchases and will not be made purchasable with Feathers.

Where does the Cockatrice spawn naturally?

By default, spawning as an adult or chick Cockatrice places you in the Fantasy Field biome. You can teleport to any other biome (Village, Desert, Jungle, Ice Mountain, Volcano, or Sanctuary) using the in-game map menu at any time.

Does the Cockatrice turn other players into stone?

No. Feather Family is an animal roleplay sandbox, not a combat or survival game. The Cockatrice's Magic action produces light and particle effects from its eyes, but it deals no damage and does not freeze or petrify other players.
