Origins, biology and purposes of the Mountain Roc.

From what I have read, there is a mention of DD's mountain Roc in GS1, in Kolima.

So, we can safely assume that it was dormant while alchemy was sealed, right ?
Does it means that it draws its energy from ambient psynergy ?


Now, it seems like this big Roc has been around for a while,
and might have already been the holy bird for pre-sealing beasthumans.


Also, from the aftermath of fighting it, it may be an machine/construct.


So, here is my theory :
The Mountain Roc is a construct from the pre-sealing (Sanan) beasthuman-tamers.
The Roc's role may have been to help enslave the beasthumans,
by providing them with a being to worship, and, thus, distract them from revolting.

Now, did the Roc gained sentience with time ?
Did he ultimately turned into a true protector for the beasthumans ?


Another point is : how does it functions ?
I toyed with the idea of how a construct would last centuries.

It reminded me of the famous concept of "perpetual motion",
studied and pursued as much as the philosophical stone of alchemy,
when mechanical sciences where setting into motion.


My theory is that of a mechanism that use alchemy to renew its parts.
(Think about a robot that could shed like a lizard.)

This could lead to the concept of its sheds being usable as alchemical materials.



What do you think about the Mountain Roc ?
Do you care about it and have your own theories about it ?

Am I the only crazy guy to think of him as some "i-robot" character ?

Anyway, let's discuss the specifics about this big boy of a bird.

Regular rocs existed even while alchemy was not completely unsealed, so it may well have been modeled off something as an android.

Apparently you *go inside the blasted thing*, and it comes pre-prepared with special utilities that can power specific alchemy machines and pedestal things. That. Doesn't sound normal.

I think it might be an alchemical energy collector, designed to coalesce energy into magma shards and orbs to power special alchemy machines. The Slap Glove is designed to act as the control unit, but whatever they were doing to mess with it was using the controls wrong and triggering the security measures until it was brute forced fixed.
