rocs
Elephant-snatching legendary birds
Rocs are mythical birds of enormous size, capable of carrying off elephants in their talons.
The creature appears in Arabian folklore, most famously in the tales of Sinbad the Sailor from *One Thousand and One Nights*.
The word occasionally appears in fantasy literature and games: The adventurers spotted a roc's nest atop the mountain.
