Raimdelle Reborn: The Neverending Bestiary

Would this mean that the Cockatrice genus on the wiki should be changed back to Ziz?

Yeah, that Cockatrice label should exist there at all. That's a type of Dodo and completely unrelated to Ziz in XIV (it was likely the association with FFXI's Cockatrice/Ziz that led to the assumption).

There are a lot of names for the mobs in the Ziz family and I'm entirely unsure how to sort it out.

• "Blue Back"
• "Sable Back"
• "Violet Back"
• "Yellow Back"
  
• Dark Matter (COIL VARIANT/NOT A SPECIES)

Ziz, Pelican, and Axe/Hammer Beak are the names I see come up the most, but I've yet to find any rhyme or reason to which is which. The Hammer Beak is a different color than the Axe Beak. Ziz have many colors. I've seen two colors of pelican. Chaos! CHAOS!

I think you might be able to narrow this down by ability usage. Like I think the Ziz more commonly use poison breath attacks, there's another that uses Petrify, another that uses Paralyze. Could be completely off base on if this makes a difference or not though.
