Where should I embark if I want to fight bears and capture a Roc?

Rocs are megabeasts, so you should be able to have them appear anywhere...right?

If in doubt, use legends/adventure mode to figure out where a roc can be found and then embark in a forest as close to the lair as possible.

As pointed out, Rocs are megabeasts, so normal biome restrictions don't apply to them.

As for the bears, I'll just repost my list of what creatures are found in what biomes:

Note - I don't guarantee this is 100% accurate, there's some guesswork on my part as to what some of the raw tokens mean, and subterranean creatures don't seem to obey good/evil/benign/savage biome restrictions like other creatures do.
