Random generation tables for the basilisk and cockatrice

Since I made random generation tables for the manticore, I decided I might as well do tables for the basilisk and cockatrice. I wrote these tables to reflect the sheer variety of basilisk and cockatrice depictions in medieval and modern art and literature. Such as the inset image:

"Eating Chips and Salsa" @BlueBroxton

I counted all the different depictions I could remember together, so these tables should provide results that were never depicted before. Even so, I doubt I accounted for every possibility so you should feel free to change these tables up at your leisure.

I didn't include any specific mechanical effects because I don't know what rules you'd be using, so any mechanical effects are suggestions only. Feel free to introduce your own mechanics or treat the results as purely cosmetic. If nothing else, then it might come in handy if you are drawing.

These tables are organized by head, body, tail, and special attack.
