Greetings, master of mythology!

A roc is a colossal, mythical bird of prey said to swoop across the sky and pluck elephants from the ground. Tales of the roc made their way from medieval Arabian and Persian lore into the story collection One Thousand and One Nights and even Marco Polo's travel notes. If you thought dragons sounded like fearsome creatures, imagine a roc grabbing one in its talons and carrying it away!
