Roc

Very feared and very large, Rocs are the largest birds of prey ever known. They belong mostly to the middle-east, and are popular around Arabia. It lives mostly around cliffs and in savannas, many gravitating towards the mountain Qaf. It's usually described as hawk-like, but appearances vary in different living conditions. They are known to capture and prey off of very large animals, such as completely grown elephants. They are said to have a 430 ft. average wingspan with feathers the size of palm leaves. The eggs are said to be around around 150 ft. in circumference.

It's said that the first sighting of a Roc was by Marco Polo, and was noted in his book Arabian Nights. One story involves a Roc carrying Sinbad off a shipwreck and into it's nest, where Sinbad found an egg the size of 148 hen's eggs. Sinbad escaped by tying his turban to the Roc without it noticing, and was said to have flown so high that he lost sight of the earth. There is also an account of a Roc dropping boulders on a ship.

Though Rocs don't usually prey on humans naturally, they have been known to take humans and pull them apart for their young. They usually feast on many things, and are considered carnivores. They usually take to elephants.

Rocs are very much described as eagle-like, with similar colorings and anatomy(besides being much, much larger). They're also observed to have rows of very sharp teeth along theirs beaks and forked tongues that resemble snakes.
