Partial Split?
Should the Great roc and Two-headed roc get their own article?

The way I see it, (but I am no expert in Zakharan anything), we should have the following article hierarchy: or perhaps this:
 * Roc
 * Zakharan roc (common)
 * Great roc
 * Two-headed roc
 * Roc
 * Zakharan roc
 * Common Zakharan roc
 * Great roc
 * Two-headed roc

One question is whether Zakhara rocs are to rocs what Ogre mages are to ogres. That is, is one a subrace of the other? or are they "cousins"? Because the Zakhara variety are intelligent, I might argue for the latter.

Thoughts?

 * Hmmm, if we do split, then I think your second option is better because the Roc and Zakharan roc are very different. Perhaps a disambiguation page giving a brief description of a "roc" and then branching between Roc and Zakharan roc with the 3 types of Zakharan roc falling under Zakharan roc?

 * I vote for a split! Ruf (talk) 15:41, August 10, 2019 (UTC)
 * Agreed. Also, tangentially related: in 4e, roc is a family of creatures, including the "common roc", phoenix, and thunderhawk. --Ir&#39;revrykal (talk) 16:54, August 10, 2019 (UTC)
