Actions
Multiattack. The roc makes two Beak attacks. It can replace one attack with a Talons attack.
Beak. Melee Attack Roll: +13, reach 10 ft. Hit: 28 (3d12 + 9) Piercing damage.
Talons. Melee Attack Roll: +13, reach 5 ft. Hit: 23 (4d6 + 9) Slashing damage. If the target is a Huge or smaller creature, it has the Grappled condition (escape DC 19) from both talons, and it has the Restrained condition until the grapple ends.
Bonus Actions
Swoop (Recharge 5–6). If the roc has a creature Grappled, the roc flies up to half its Fly Speed without provoking Opportunity Attacks and drops that creature.

Posted Feb 24, 2025The old roc didn't specify the grapple condition was in place by both talons. Does this new version of the rock require two successful DC 19 escape checks, one from each talon?

Posted Mar 14, 2025No, once a creature succeeds on a saving throw to escape the grapple, they've escaped. The language "both talons" means that the Roc can only have one creature Grappled at a time (most likely to justify the restrained condition).

Posted Sep 27, 2025Unless its different for monsters, this is what it says: Grapple. The target must succeed on a Strength or Dexterity saving throw (it chooses which), or it has the Grappled condition. The DC for the saving throw and any escape attempts equals 8 plus your Strength modifier and Proficiency Bonus. This grapple is possible only if the target is no more than one size larger than you and if you have a hand free to grab it.
