Rocs are a species of large birds that originate from the Persian deserts, but have now spread worldwide.
Appearance[]
Rocs are raptors, like eagles, falcons, condors, etc., however, the main thing that separates them from their fellow raptors is that they are rather large. By large, I mean that they are big enough to pick up a fully grown African bull elephant as if it were a mere rat. They otherwise look like normal raptors, with dark brown, almost black, plumage, golden yellow talons and hooked beaks, and greenish-gold eyes. They also have a call that sounds like a raptor screech, but magnified by about 100.
Behavior[]
Rocs are fearsome creatures, preferring to live alone until mating season. Females will nest in mountain craters that (obviously) will fit them. The mother is extremely protective of her eggs, and will defend the eggs, and the resulting chicks, until they are old enough to fly and take care of themselves. They will hunt, kill, and eat anything that they can catch. As such, they are extremely dangerous, and one must stay away from one at all costs.
