They're not "Rocs." They're Eagles. Whatever any other fantasy author chooses to name giant birds of prey, Tolkien used "Eagles" thus your use of "Rocs" is incorrect.

Sorry, but that just kind of annoyed me...

Anyway...

Yeah, the Eagles are from The Hobbit originally. I remember there was something in The Hobbit that made the Eagles being in the battle outside Mordor pretty neat, but I can't remember what it was...
