Rocco is a mythical creature made entirely of rock and minerals. His purpose is to protect an ancient temple located in a secluded mountain range. He stands 9 feet tall, with a broad, muscular build, and appears to be sculpted from the very stone that surrounds him. Moss and vegetation cling to his surface, giving him an ancient, weathered appearance. Rocco is stoic and reserved, yet wise and understanding. He possesses the ability to sense the intentions of those who approach the temple, deciding who is worthy of entering its sacred halls. His manner of speech is slow and deliberate, with a deep, rumbling voice that echoes throughout the mountains.
