Roc (ロック, Rokku) is an enemy which appears in Suikoden.
Rocs are the most powerful enemies you'll encounter before you enter the Great Forest but their habit of attacking alone or with a small number of other creatures greatly reduces their threat to a full or nearly full party.
Information
This increidbly large bird monster lived in the Gouran region. According to eyewitness accounts, the bird was so huge that a cow looked the size of a field mouse when compared to it.

Data
Etymology
A roc (or rukh) is a legendary giant bird of prey. The myth has its roots in Arabian legends and sailor sightings and was readily adopted by western explorers. Their existence was held to be fact for centuries, mainly thanks to the writings of Marco Polo, before the spread of rationalism in the 17th century encouraged a more critical view of the roc and its origins.
