Cockatrice are Slayer monsters that require level 25 Slayer to kill. A mirror shield is required to defend against their piercing gaze, or else they will reduce your combat stats every hit, even while safe-spotting. As 20 Defence is needed to be able to wield a mirror shield, players who do not meet this requirement will not be assigned them as a task. It's worthy to note that their strength lies purely in their piercing gaze ability; with a mirror shield equipped, do not expect much of a fight. As such, not a lot of resources are necessary to hunt this monster.
They are commonly killed because they have a relatively high drop rate of medium clue scrolls, and are often killed during Slayer tasks. They may also rarely drop the mystic boots (light).
Drop rates estimated based on 63,641 kills from the Old School RuneScape Wiki drop log project, unless otherwise cited.
