A roc is a massive bird of prey, with an over 200 foot wingspan causing it to dwarf all but the oldest dragons . [1] Rocs mainly dwell on the continents of Xen'drik and Argonnessen . [4] [5] Their size, predatory nature, and flight capability make them one of the few threats to airships who venture into the continent of Xen'drik. [4]
Rocs are sometimes tamed by cloud , storm , or sun giants . [1] [6] However, giants are also often potential prey for wild rocs. [1]
Notable Rocs
- Kraa'ark Lors , a powerful awakened roc with control of storms who seeks to annihilate Stormreach . [7]
- On the continent of Argonnessen , dragon sorcerers fed a roc arcane power to create a spellwarped roc, before setting it loose in the Vast . [5]
