Roc

Rocs are gargantuan birds, an eagle-like animal. They inhabit the highest mountains in warm regions. They prey upon large creatures such as cattle, horses, and elephants. The roc swoops down upon prey, seizes it in its powerful talons, and carries it off to its lair. If the creature resists, the roc will strike it with its beak. The lair of a roc will be a vast nest of trees, branches, and the like. There its treasure will be strewn about, for the creature does not value such ,...it is the residue of its victims. Rocs are occasionally tamed and used by giants.

Rocs are birds so large that one can carry off an elephant.

A roc is always neutral in alignment. Rocs are usually solitary, but sometimes found in mated pairs.
