Chocatrice

From the RuneScape Wiki, the wiki for all things RuneScape

This is not to be confused with a Cockatrice.

A chocatrice.
A Chocatrice is a type of familiar (although familiars are members, f2p players could control it) that was used during the 2008 Easter event. You make up an insult and tell the chocatrice that an animal said it. The insult is often akin to being a 'noob' e.g. 'that rat thinks you still try to wear goblin armour'. The chocatrice then attacks the creature, kills it and then you get chocolate chunks. When attempting to interact with another players Chocatrice, the player receives the message "This is not the Chocatrice you're looking for". When it attacks a creature, it will use its "Gooey Gaze," like the Petrifying Gaze of the Cockatrice. When you try to get it to target itself, the player receives this message "The chocatrice refuses to target itself. How smart!" Also, if you try to attack another player's Chocatrice, you will receive the message "The Chocatrice is not interested in attacking that."

[edit] List of insults

Upon the player (at this point in the form of a bunny rabbit) selecting a target, an insult (usually a noob insult or an insult making fun of the Chocatrice being made of chocolate) would automatically appear above the player's head. This would annoy the Chocatrice enough to attack that target for supposedly making fun of it. Each time, it would start with: "Hey, see that mouse/snail/rat/cockroach/spider over there?" It would then be followed by one of the random insults:

A player taunting a Chocatrice.
  • "...It said you'd probably get owned by a chicken."
  • "...It said you lost your tinderbox and cried."
  • "...It made up a song about you and it's not very nice."

  • "...It said I must have dropped your egg."

[edit] Trivia

  • This is the only non-members Summoning Familiar besides the Christmas 2008 snow imp, and the only familiar that can be understood at level 1 (again, besides the snow imp).
  • The comment "This is not the chocatrice you are looking for", could be a reference to the quote from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, when Obi-Wan Kenobi use a Jedi mind trick to pass a group of Stormtroopers by saying "These are not the droids you are looking for".
