The Rok carries off large animals:

Edward Detmold shows us a Roc that looks rather like a falcon. The animals (there always must be two of them, one would be so mundane) are fairly large in relation to the bird.
Eric Pape gives us a wonderfully bizarre bird. Not flightworthy, perhaps, but stimulating to the imagination.
Arthur Szyk gives us the most colorful and intricate Roc. Szyk seems to have based his design on the turkey, a large bird in its own right.
