Believed to be the mutated offspring of the large, native vultures that once inhabited these deserts, vulture demons seek only to kill and consume mortal beings that cross their paths. The giant vultures of old were, for the most part, scavengers who ate only the dead or dying. Now befouled, these creatures circle the desert in search of live prey. Their razor sharp beaks and talons can cause deep wounds, and a group of these demons can quickly bring down a victim. Although impossible to target while in flight, these vultures must land to attack, and are vulnerable when on the ground. | |||

They have no air attack, but can crash to earth right next to your character and begin their very fast attack immediately, so keep an eye on them when they're flying. They hit hard and quickly, and are surprisingly dangerous toe to toe. Many a new character has met their unexpected fate against a pack of these things at close range. | ||
Vultures have no physical resistance and not much blocking, so they aren't difficult to kill toe to toe; just try not to take on too many at once, or let them get in the first hit(s). | Vultures have no physical resistance and not much blocking, so they aren't difficult to kill toe to toe; just try not to take on too many at once, or let them get in the first hit(s). | ||
