prayers would be in order if you are ballistically challenged while engaging
a Prok...

Words of advice, anything smaller than a house would not afford you proper
cover in case of a quick need for rendering ones self 'hidden' from the Prok
wrath...

As I pointed out to a few others who asked, a Prok is the Texan cousin of
the legendary bird of prey know as a Roc or rukh.  The prok is a little
smaller than the roc and so cannot carry off elephants and consume them,
they only do longhorns as a maximum.

Proks are brought down by the precise application of high speed jacketed
lead from long distances.  You do not want to miss and have the prok decide
to pick you up as a snack.

I hope that clears it up for you.
