Power: 2 | Speed: 4 | Rarity: Common | World Region: The Pale Skies
Origins: Pale Roc is the visual camouflage flyer in Shadow Commons – 2/4, pale enough against the Pale Skies to be effectively invisible on approach. Where Gloom Bat uses sound-based targeting in full darkness, Pale Roc uses colour camouflage in low-contrast sky conditions. Both arrive from directions the opponent can't confirm. Both use their respective 2/4 stats effectively because the approach is undetected.
Finishing Move: Ghost Dive: Dives from the Pale Skies in a configuration that makes it extremely difficult to visually confirm – the pale colouring against pale sky makes approach tracking unreliable. The 2 Power arrives from a location the opponent wasn't monitoring.
Synergy & Rivalry: The visual camouflage aerial in Shadow Commons. Air's Drift Roc is its cross-affinity roc counterpart – two aerial Common rocs, one camouflaged against pale sky and one riding thermals, who have compared their respective approach-invisibility techniques with competitive interest.
