Not so sure about the cockatrice as their power isn't detailed, but KC certainly used the mythological version of the basilisk as far as how their power functioned and what made them so dangerous. Namely that they only need to look at something for their power to effect it.

Course the extra art (showing bits of red light coming out of her eyes) and the description of it being a venom that pours out from their eyes means it may manifest as a beam that could perhaps be dodged, but not easily.
