Animal · SM +4 Roc (Enraged Eggplant; answers SRD 3.5, SRD 5.1)
A bird of prey on an impossible scale, with a wingspan that shades a village square and talons that close around an ox. It nests on the highest crags, sees a moving animal from a great height, and carries off whatever it decides on without pausing.

- Description
- Written by Dungeons on Automatic, released under cc_by_4_0
- GCS ancestry draft: gcs/roc.gct
- Source template total: 92 points.
- Library-rebuilt template total: 92 points.
- CER was computed from parsed Typical Stats using the Dungeons On Automatic baseline CER path.
- GCS ancestry reconciliation adjudicated: the published template total is 92 points and the parsed source children sum to 102, a difference of -10. Classified as grouped construction not decomposed — consistent with grouped abilities the prose parser did not split into individual children (alternative abilities, linked constructions, and spell or breath-weapon groups). The points are real and priced in the author's total; only the decomposition is missing. The authorized source total is preserved; the remaining manual step is opening gcs/roc.gct in GCS to replace the reconciliation child with native constructions where the grouped ability can be decomposed.
- CER recomputed from the reviewed Typical Stats through the canonical Dungeons on Automatic CER path: OR 61, PR 49, CER 110, threat tier severe.
- Encounter metadata derived (gregarious): average number appearing 1, wandering weight 1. Encounter metadata derived for 0.2.0 from the reviewed threat tier and creature class (appearing: minor 4 / standard 2 / major 1 / severe 1, forced to 1 for solitary classes — including swarms, which are a single multi-body creature — and raised to 6 for gregarious minor creatures; wandering weight: minor 4 / standard 3 / major 2 / severe 1). The fan-conversion source states no appearing-in-numbers or wandering values, so these are derived, not source mechanics.
- Lair, treasure, and grappling remain unpopulated in 0.2.0 by package policy: the authorized fan-conversion source states no lair, treasure, or grappling values, and review declines to invent them. See review/policy/0.2.0-empty-field-policy.md.
- Description text is original Dungeons on Automatic prose written from this record's own converted statistics and from the project's art direction for the creature. It is not derived from the authorized fan-conversion source, which states no creature descriptions, and not from any SRD. It carries its own authorship and CC BY 4.0 terms in the description field. See review/policy/description-policy.md.
- Review approved by automated-mechanical-review on 2026-07-26 (batch ee-2026-07-26-b2-gcs-reconciliation); GCS fidelity check passed, DOA playability check passed.
- The source-total difference is classified and documented in conversionNotes; the authorized published total is preserved and the residual stays visible as a reconciliation child.
- Visual GCS verification of the .gct is not claimed by this decision; checks.gcsVisualPass is false.
