Cockatrice actually are really unpopular mythological monsters, mostly because they are confused with Basilisks (which do pretty much what they do, except they don't have the head of a rooster). In mythology, they don't do this petrifying breath like in DD, but they make you stone the moment you see their eyes. Like Medusa.
