Vultures are flying creatures found in deserts and some tropical plains. They spawn in flocks of 5-10 individuals, causing constant job interruption spam, scaring livestock out of pastures and, most notably, attempting to steal your food before flying away with it. This can be quite nasty to a newly-embarked fortress which has not yet settled up their food industry or made farm plots. Vultures are essentially tropical buzzards, except they are considerably larger; nearly seven times bigger.

Vultures may be captured with cage traps and trained into low-value pets. They lay a very low amount of eggs, making them poor targets for egg production unless the player is doing it for novelty's sake. Butchering a vulture yields far more than a buzzard however, with them being large enough to give products beyond skulls.

Some dwarves like vultures for their patience.
