Roc enemy line

The Roc and Raptor are species of monsters found in Golden Sun: The Lost Age. These monsters, resembling large winged birds standing on the ground, are palette swaps of each other and have differing levels of power and defense.

Roc
A Roc is a member with an orange head and crest and a purple beak. It has 245 HP, 214 Attack, 50 Defense, 116 Agility, and 17 Luck. It is most resistant to Venus-based attacks and has decreasing resistances for Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter, to which it is extremely succeptible.

Rocs can only attack with a physical attack and the Monster skill Wing Flutter, for enchanced damage to multiple targets.

Felling a Roc yields 238 EXP, 193 coins, and in rare cases, a Vial. Rocs are fought at Aqua Rock where, status-wise, they are the second strongest enemy in the area (with Sea Dragon being the first).

Raptor
A Raptor is a member with a violet head and crest and a green beak. It has 366 HP, 354 Attack, 96 Defense, 180 Agility, and 19 Luck. It is most resistant to Venus-based attacks and has decreasing resistances for Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter, to which it is extremely succeptible.

Raptors have the same attack options as Rocs, but also gain the monster skill Twin Beak, for enhanced damage to a single target.

Felling a Raptor yields 521 EXP and 295 coins. Oddly, they do not drop any items when defeated. Raptors are battled at Mars Lighthouse and are some of the final enemies fought in The Lost Age.
