A plumed kargoroc, usually found in colder climates. Source A kargaroc (also known as kargarok or kargorok) appears as an unsightly bird of prey with a red crest on its scalp and more subdued colors across the rest of its body. Those in colder climates are covered in plumage like most birds, while those in warmer climates are devoid of feathers and instead fly on leathery bat-like wings. The golden feathers of plumed kargarocs are highly valued, and are treated among rito as beautiful treasures akin to gemstones. Regardless of the kargaroc's plumage, they are notoriously aggressive hunters that seek to make meals out of everything from frogs to hylians. They are found most abundantly in the open air of mountains, hills, prairies, and coastlines. Cargo Carriers. Despite their aggression, kargarocs are occasionally trained into domestic servants. This is most often by different varieties of moblins, particularly bulblins. Despite their seemingly frail appearance, kargarocs can carry impressively heavy loads in their talons. This has been used for transport of both goods and persons, akin in this regard to loftwings. Kargarocs have even been known to haul creatures as large as big moblins into the heart of battle. A featherless kargoroc, usually found in warmer climates. Source
