What it does
Flying
We encountered a valley topped with immense boulders and eerie rock formations. Suddenly one of these boulders toppled from its perch and sprouted gargantuan wings, casting a shadow of darkness and sending us fleeing in terror.

Where it came from
The Roc of Kher Ridges was originally printed as part of the Alpha and Beta sets of Magic: The Gathering in 1993, representing the game's initial foray into high-fantasy trading card design by Wizards of the Coast. As a creature card, it was designed to capture the lore of the Kher Ridges—a volcanic, mountain-heavy region of the Dominaria plane inhabited by mountain-dwelling creatures. The Unlimited Edition, released in late 1993, served as the first core set reprint, maintaining the original white-bordered aesthetic intended to distinguish it from the limited-run initial printings.
The illustration for the Roc of Kher Ridges was created by artist Quinton Hoover. Hoover, a foundational contributor to the game's visual identity, utilized a distinct, flowing style that emphasized the creature's avian features and its connection to the rugged terrain of its namesake. The artwork was well-received by players for its iconic fantasy sensibilities, helping to solidify the visual language of early Magic sets which often blended traditional ink-and-wash techniques with the burgeoning aesthetic of tabletop roleplaying games.
