(please forgive my crappy image)

Shadow is still young and not quite full-grown, but she will grow bigger with time.

Her "gazebo" is actually more of a tent-like structure. One of these days I'm going to edit every instance of "gazebo" in the whole series and change it to "tent" or "yurt", because it seems to cause a lot of confusion. Poor word choice on my part!

Shadow doesn't carry the tent on her back, she actually carries it in her talons like this:

(However, I have seen art of rocs carrying tents on their backs like the pic below:

Rocs of Looming Gaia don't generally carry them this way though.)

Shadow has a few different tents which she uses to carry her crew. The largest one is big enough to hold about ten crewmen, including Elska and Javaan (it's a tight squeeze!). The smallest can hold just two human-sized people. The larger tents are more unwieldy and make her fly clumsily.

Some of the tents are made of light canvas and well-ventilated for hot climates, while others are made of heavy pelts and extra insulated for cold climates. In one story, the FGG put skis on a roc tent so they could drag it through the snowy tundra, showing that they're easily customizable.

All the tents are equipped with safety parachutes in case Shadow accidentally drops them (the FGG had to deploy these at least once in the series...). They also float in case they're dropped in water. However, these tents are built to be as lightweight as possible and that means they're not very sturdy. They tend to break apart easily.
