They are generally found in the coldest and deepest reaches of the lake, which makes them hard to retrieve, what with all of the electric eels and carnivorous fish. However, the high prices these eggs can fetch in Shuttered can make the diving worth it. After all, the prices are high enough to spark scuffles, murders and even a small war. Legend says that one day a dragon egg will be discovered here which makes the lake all the more intriguing  The peacockatrices themselves may not look like much when they are first hatched and are easily confused with especially ugly chickens. However as they grow the males tail feathers grow long and brilliant, so much so that they can easy dazzle the mind of any who look upon them. They are also often the last thing that people see as the peacockatrice then approaches its dazzled victims and pecks at them, which turns them to stone. Count Seutorian (30.12) keeps a large flock of these birds in his gardens and often meditates while staring into their feathers (while on the other side of a stout wrought iron fence, as he is not an idiot). Hairy Jack (37.21) also keeps one, but it is a female that lacks the dazzling feathers and petrifying peck of the males of this species. However, he has glued some bright feathers to its tail and hopes that it will serve as a useful decoy. Hooks:-Why are there peacockatrice eggs at the bottom of a lake?-What kind of fish?-A small war? Tell me about it!-Is there really a connection between this lake and dragons?-How do Count Seutorian’s gardeners maintain a garden full of peacockatrices?-Who’s been turned to stone by them?-Who else owns one?</blockquote>
