Sim the Roc

Name:Simurgh or Sim for short
Rank: Legendary
Species:Roc
Type:Battle Pet
Description:

Spoiler:

Rocs are terrifying, legendary birds renowned for their ability to carry off elephants and other big animals. A typical roc is 150 feet long from beak to tail, with an 340-foot wingspan and weight of up to 12,000 pounds. While their beaks are hooked like an eagle's and designed for slashing and tearing, most rocs prefer to seize prey in their massive, clawed talons and drop them from great heights before feasting on the shattered remains. For this reason, they are often followed by flocks of scavengers like rooks, buzzards, and eagles hoping to steal portions of the roc's messy meals. The roc generally ignores such opportunists, but if the scavengers don't take care, they nevertheless may find themselves accidentally consumed by the feeding roc.

Rocs are equally comfortable over land and sea. While they are capable of sleeping in the air as they soar solo across great ranges in search of food, they generally return home to the mountains to roost and procreate. They prefer rocky crags that are completely inaccessible by terrestrial means, building vast nests of tree trunks and ruined masonry. Once a decade, a mated pair lays a clutch of 3–5 eggs and raises its young. Outside of mating, rocs tend to be extremely antisocial, and may attack others of their kind in vicious aerial battles in order to establish their territorial boundaries. When a nest contains eggs or chicks, parents trade off in their long-ranging flights, with one restricting its wanderings to within a 10-mile radius of the nest.

Rocs are most commonly white but can be a number of different colors, from dark brown or gold to black or blood red. Their massive feathers are highly prized due to their small weight and great durability, and their eggs even more so. Due to their scarcity and the high risk involved in harvesting them, a single man-sized roc egg can net large amounts of jewels on the black market if transported undamaged. A roc can be trained as well as any other animal, but its great size makes this a daunting task for most would-be trainers of human size.

Sim in particular is still an adolescent and has yet to achieve either the size or the finished coloring of his full grown brethren; leaving him a stormy grey color and roughly half the size of an adult Roc(He is 75ft tall from beak to tail feathers,weighs 6000lbs, and has a wingspan of 150ft). Sim is quite strange for his kind as he seems to have never lost the curiosity and overly amorous nature possessed as a young chick. This often times leads to grave misunderstandings as he attempts to play with anything he finds interesting and tends to forget how large he is compared to most other creatures.
