Description

Although primarily carnivorous, the gigantic Roc bird is known for its frugivorous diet and was commonly spotted pecking pineapple-melons. The short yet extremely powerful hooked raptorial beak is suitable not only for ripping flesh but also perfectly designed to mash some ground hefty berries. Nonetheless, the Roc bird remains the biggest flying predatory organism in Oominor with a wingspan about 45 – 65 feet long.

This prey bird hunts large animals attacking them from the air piercing the head of the creature with sharp hooked claws, with all its weight, the bird falls on the head of the animal and presses it down with the ground. Frequently the prey dies instantly without realizing what has happened.

Atop the head of the Roc is crowned by long feathers that fan into a bold crest when the bird feels threatened or during the fights with other representatives of the same species.

The Rocs hatch from enormous ground-colored eggs. All chicks possess some sort of a small horn aiding them to chip open the hard shell of the egg; however, later the horn reduces I size and completely vanishes before the baby Roc learns how to fly.
Roc birds prefer open spaces and large canyons where they hunt their favorite mammals: behemoth, elephant gopher, and boar-mammoth.
