Oh, and another thing, I've been chasing a cocatrice around Rabanastre for ages and can't catch him. I've tried creeping up behind him, hiding behind pillars and poles and ambushing him and jumping out from corners and I still can't catch him. Is there a trick to this?
Thanks in advance guys.

Alright, you know the village in the desert (Dalmasca Eastersand - across from the Barheim Passage), talk to the man on the Dock after saving the village from an invasion of Cactuars, also you need to help get a Cockatrice back home to Giza Plains, but you require an item called "Feather of the Flock" which is obtainable in the area from where you fought the... Gil Snapper.
Now, you must talk to the man on the dock - his name is Ruskel (or Ruksel, I can't exactly remember currently) and he will say that he wants to fish, now go to the Aerodrome in The Port of Balfonheim, there will be a man fishing, now basically talk to him and ask him for his rod, talk to him another couple of times, then walk off to the Aerodrome but do not enter it, walk back and he'll have gone for lunch and he'll have left his fishing rod, take it and then head back to the Eastersand village and give the rod to Ruksel/Ruskel and you will unlock the fishing mini-game.
Now, back to the Cockatrice, you need to walk around to the Gambit store or by the Clan Centurio hall and wait behind the pillars on the very edge, now you will have to walk out when the Cockatrice goes past, and will need to keep walking until it goes to turn when you race up and talk to it, the answer to it's question is "...Errr.....no." and he should head back to where you first encounter him Rabanstre and you should be able to talk to him again and he will eventually go back to Giza Plains, once you've sent all Cockatrices' back to Giza Plains, talk to Terra and you shall get an extra reward.
I hope that explains a few things, sorry... poor memory as I've been playing through DoC.
