Ornithosaur (Polish: Ornitoreptyl) is a class of creature which have traits of both birds and reptiles. According to Geralt of Rivia, it's only surviving member is the cockatrice.[1]
The Witcher[]
In the game, ornithosaur is a hypernym used to refer to a number of four-limbed, winged, non-intelligent reptilians.
The word is a combination of Greek ornis, ornith- (bird) and sauros (lizard).

Notes[]
- The Witcher incorrectly sorts some draconids as ornithosaur species. It is later corrected in The World of the Witcher which separates ornithosaurs from draconids, listing them as hybrids.
