| Description = Sometimes known as Big Birds or Greater Birds, '''Rocs''' are one of the largest birds in the system - and can be the deadliest.  With high evasion and a number of multi-hit attacks, Rocs can evade what you throw at them and then counter with a relentless blow of attacks.  Even the most prepared and experienced forces should be wary.  

All Rocs can drop [[Giant Bird Feather|feathers]] and [[Giant Bird Plume|plumes]] when defeated.  The feathers are used in a few recipes, most notably the highly-prized [[Icarus Wing]].  The plume is sought after by high level crafters in [[clothcraft]], [[leathercraft]], and [[woodworking]]. The plumes can also fetch a decent price with certain merchants.

The [[Diatryma Meat|meat]] of the [[Diatryma]] variety of Roc, found only in [[Eastern Altepa Desert]] and [[Misareaux Coast]], can also be scavenged from the defeated bird.  The meat is distasteful to most occupants of [[Vana'diel]], but it can be used in a soup edible to [[Za'Dha Adamantking]] and used to spawn a notorious [[Kurrea|bugard]].
