31 Days of Monsters: The Lidérc

If you take the egg of an all-black chicken and incubate it in a pile of manure, it will hatch into a lidérc. A Hungarian shapeshifting demon that attracts money to its "owner", a lidérc can also transform itself into a fantasy lover for its master much like an incubus or succubus. If kept too long however, a lidérc will begin to drain the life from its owner, delivering the victim's soul to it's real master, the Devil. The best way to rid yourself of a lidérc is to give it an impossible task to complete. If unable to finish the task, it will either return to Hell or tear itself apart in frustration.

31 Days of Monsters 2014: Cockatrice

I must be in a fowl mood, because today I'm giving you the cockatrice. Often confused with the Basilisk — which I drew last year — the cockatrice is a much smaller two-legged dragon with the head of a rooster. Where the basilisk springs from a snake egg that has been hatched by a chicken, a cockatrice is formed when a chicken egg is incubated by a toad. The stare, touch and even the breath of a cockatrice are deadly. Grinding the eggshell of a hatched cockatrice into the food of an enemy induces madness and eventually death. The surest way of killing a cockatrice is to trick it into looking at itself in a mirror. Presented with its reflection it will tear itself apart in fear of its own horrific appearance. Silly bird.
