We recently have a similar question on mounts and what are legal sources for mounts. After some debate and a PM to Mr Brock.

The answer is "The three classes (Paladin, Cavalier and Nature Oracle.) are still limited to their respective class abilities. (meaning only horses, camels, pony, wolf, boar and dog mounts.)"

In the case of mounts, the Mammoth Rider or the Cavaliers Archetype Beast Rider are examples of "another legal source" as stated in the PFS FAQ.

The books are all sources/resources, but having a book does not mean all options in the books are legal or accessible to use.

For example, having the Advance Race Guide, does not means you have legal access to make Goblins, Kitsune, Najaji or Sylph characters. In this case, a boon is required to access these races and make them legal to use

So even thought it is stated in the Bestiary that a Roc is a valid Animal Companion. It is not a valid Animal Companion for a Ranger, which is still limited to the the "list" of animal companions on the Ranger class page.
Aka, as a Ranger, you do not have Legal Access to the Roc.

So Im confused, in the list of what is and isnt okay from a particular source, it lists Beastmaster as being PFS legal, so if you go the Beastmaster route then Roc is available to a Ranger, but ONLY if you choose to be a Beastmaster?
