The Eagle Titan

At first sight, it's silhouette looks much like any other bird of prey. As it descends, however, its unearthly size becomes terrifyingly clear. In flight, it's wingspan spreads 100 feet or more. The Derabo Danger lives alone with dormant eggs at the highest peak of Derabo's Skyview Canyons. The Eagle Titan is a solitary creature that will live for plenty of centuries. They lair in nests made from trees, tents, broken ships, and the remains of caravans they carry off, and build it around it's eggs to incubate them. In the ancient days when giants battled dragons for control of the world, Annam, the father of the giant gods, created the rocs so that his worshipers might challenge the dragons' dominance of the air. When the war ended, the rocs were freed from giant domination and spread throughout the world, though, it was not known that the Eagle Titan was one of those Rocs in disguise. The war and battle was too much for it, and it sent itself to the depths of Aitso, to Derabo. 

It would attack prey or annoyances with claws and beak. It's favorite hunting tactic is to grab prey with their talons, soar up into the air, and then drop them from a great height. It has also been known to employ boulders to pulverize ships from Nations and organisations at sea. It is often followed by avian scavengers, such as eagles and buzzards, hoping to grab the choicest bits of a roc's prey as they splatter on the ground. The Eagle Titan itself ignore these scavengers, though aren't above snapping up a few in their beaks if they get in the way, along with these, a Gargantuan Roc had tried and succeeded to befriending the Eagle Titan. Some people believe that the Eggs that the Eagle Titan belonged to the Duo, despite the biological sex or gender of the Eagle Titan still being unknown. 

Though the true history of this creature is horrific. Thousands of years ago, when the New Gods slain the Old Gods, many creatures saw the event, and were bargained with. One was an Eagle with a broken wing, whom asked for a new way to fly. The new Gods, with their newfound power, instead made them turn into a Terran and Roc Hybrid, with eyes of truesight that can see from any sculpture made of it. 

In Art

Titan's Toll:

Being one of the original beings, the Eagle Titan was bargained with to not tell others about the truth in return for anything. The Eagle did it for one thing only. The Eagle wished that it could defend it's young. They granted the power, making it a Huge beings, with vegetation growing on it's wings and the ability of extended presence. It can manifest a mirage of itself and see out of art pieces that depict it, like a statue, painting, or even Tattoo.

The Eagle Titan resides at the end of a cliff, a wave of blossom trees having been moved to protect something behind it. The cliff is in the middle of a large canyon, with an oasis around the bottom of it, said to be home to a few plesiosauri. The cliff is connected to land by a natural bridge, which has molluscs and other aquatic life close to it, sometimes even on the bridge itself.
