'''Vultures''' are pests. They appear in groups and, if there is [[food]] outside, they will try to steal it. Dwarves too close to a vulture will flee, but a single dwarf can handle one. They are sometimes aggressive, and usually flee from dwarves, but they keep coming back for food.

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.
