Roc

This fantastic creature is the legendary gigantic bird of Middle East and Indian tales. The Roc used to fly over the mountains of Caucasus and Himalaya, spreading his enormous wings in search of preys for his brood. Even Marco Polo tells in his book “Il Milione” about his incredible encounter with a bird able to hunt and carry even a buffalo. In some places he was called “thunderbird”, for many believed the flapping of his wide wings generates storms. The craziness of mankind is the cause of Roc’s extinction, for his eggs were considered a precious and wonder medicine. God didn’t like that. He loved very much one of his most amazing creatures and decided to reawake him in the afterlife. So now the Roc and his progeny are the rulers of Purgatory skies. The mighty bird is now even more intelligent and has the faculty to speak and read in human minds. He’s back to be the Thunderbird, able to create a tempest with his wings and fire lightning from his eyes. He lives free but those who are pure in their hearts can summon him and ask for his help...
