Chickens are usually seen as silly, comical birds, as symbols of cowardice, or as a source of delicious food. However, there is one exception to that rule: adult male chickens, also known as "roosters", "cockerels" or "cocks" depending where you come from (although the latter term is gradually falling out of use due to its other meaning). Roosters are stereotyped as fierce and boisterous animals, and are closely associated with masculinity and machoism. They are commonly depicted as horny Casanovas who constantly flirt with and/or harass hens (in line with the latter characteristic and term), or bullies who pick on smaller fowl. Due to their more flamboyant appearance compared to hens and their habit of perching high above the ground, roosters are also associated with pompousness and Attention Whore tendencies, and are often depicted as having a smug, snobbish attitude. There is some Truth in Television to the trope: much of this derives from roosters usually having a high testosterone level, which makes them highly aggressive and territorial to the point of fighting with other roosters and even charging straight at humans, which is why they are often used in cockfighting. They are also polygamous and often peck at subordinate chickens to ensure their dominance. For truly monstrous creatures that are often part rooster, see Basilisk and Cockatrice. See also Cock-a-Doodle Dawn, another stereotype associated with roosters. Compare Foul Waterfowl, for when ducks and geese are portrayed with similar personalities. See Virile Stallion for another animal heavily associated with masculinity. |

Monster Hunter: The Yian Garuga, introduced in Monster Hunter Freedom is a venomous Bird Wyvern bearing several similarities to a giant rooster, but with big ears instead of a comb and scales instead of feathers. It's also extremely aggressive, fighting anything in the area for the hell of it (including you) and being so tenacious that it can make a Deviljho give up in frustration. | |

Steelbeak from Darkwing Duck is a secret agent working for the villainous organization F.O.W.L.; he's an evil mastermind with a smug, arrogant attitude, who is usually cowardly, but can weaponize his steel beak when necessary. DuckTales (2017) features a different version of Steelbeak, who's far less intelligent and more of a bad-tempered Dumb Muscle. He shares his original counterpart's smugness and arrogance, though. |

Foghorn Leghorn of Looney Tunes fame is quite a mean-spirited prankster, and also has a loud-mouthed, arrogant attitude. "Each Dawn I Crow," a Looney Tunes film from 1949, stars John Rooster, a cock-o'-the-walk who gets influenced by the cartoon's narrator that maybe his goose is cooked. "Boulevardier From the Bronx" (1936) stars Dizzy Dan, rooster and star pitcher for the Giants who are visiting Hickville to play an exhibition game against them. He's a consummate cock-o'-the-walk who gets his his ego totally destroyed when in the ninth inning and leading 3-0, he walks the bases loaded just so he can strike out Hickville's Claude who ends up hitting a grand slam. |

Scratch from Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog is a robotic example. He is a robot rooster who is a member of the Super Special Sonic Search and Smash Squad, and always tries to ensure that he is Dr. Robotnik's favorite lackey, often getting into arguments with his non-identical twin brother, Grounder. He is also known for his signature laugh, "Bwahahaha!", and is the twelfth and semi-final opponent in the Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine video game, wherein the Sega Genesis version of the game, he makes a lot of chicken jokes to taunt the player. | |

Moana: During production, Hei-Hei the rooster was originally designed as cranky and obsessed with maintaining good behavior from Moana. However, test viewings found him to be unlikable that way, so his personality was changed in the final film from "bossy jerk" to "really stupid friend". | |

The titular Chicken of Cow and Chicken splits the difference between this archetype and that of the goofy chicken. He's an unlucky loser who needs constant rescuing... because he's a tough-talking, arrogant know-it-all who likes to provoke people much bigger than he is. | |

Pokémon: The Torchic line, one of the starting Pokemon in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, is based on chickens, and is dual-typed Fire/Fighting, both associated with aggressiveness and strong attacks. The middle evolution Combusken has a permanent Death Glare. From the same game, Latios is a downplayed example. He vaguely resembles a chicken, and he is generally a docile Pokémon, but being a Dragon/Psychic-type Legendary Pokémon, he can be outright a dangerous foe to his opponents. His female counterpart Latias can veer into this trope as well, though less often. Tapu-Koko from Pokémon Sun and Moon is a Fairy/Electric-type Legendary Pokémon, being a Blood Knight Jerkass God resembling a rooster, and is very capricious and fickle to the fact not everyone can be saved from conflicts. |

In Chicken Run, there are two main rooster characters. Fowler, the elderly resident rooster fits the stereotype better, being a Grumpy Old Man and a military veteran. Rocky, the rooster who lands on the farm from the outside, is a bit of a braggart but not particularly mean or arrogant. He does fit the other half of the stereotype as a shameless flirt always wanting to bask in the hens' attention. | |

Fowlmouth from Tiny Toon Adventures is Foghorn Leghorn's Junior Counterpart. In his debut appearance, "To Bleep or Not to Bleep" (part of "Test Stressed"), he has an obvious crush on Shirley and would love to ask her to a dance, but his swearing habit drives her away, and he enlists Buster's help to cure him of it. When Buster discovers that Fowlmouth refuses to swear in front of little children, he uses that to his advantage, and brings the three babies they passed by in the sandbox, so he can pull them out when it seems like Fowlmouth is about to swear. His plan works, as Fowlmouth doesn't even swear when Shirley tells him that she promised Plucky she'd go to the dance with him. In the Direct to Video movie, "How I Spent My Vacation", while Fowlmouth is a lot less profane, he's still very pushy and rude, particularly in movie theaters, proven when he and Shirley go see Skunknophobia, a movie that Fowlmouth has seen 100 times before, and will not shut up through. Eventually, it's not just the movie-goers who are sick of Fowlmouth's constant talking, but the actors of Skunknophobia as well when the movie-goers toss Fowlmouth into the movie itself. | |

The Silly Symphonies short "Cock O'The Walk" is about a fight between a burly black rooster and a scrawnier brown one over a pretty hen. The black rooster fits this trope to a T as a showy, bullying, macho, cigar-chomping boxing champion; the brown rooster is more of an underdog with a hopeless romantic personality, but he has a fierce temper, as he's the one initiating the fight, and becomes an invincible fighting machine after getting kissed by the hen. | |
