This article is about the current version of DF.
Note that some content may still need to be updated.
A large bird with a featherless red head found in the sky of tropical deserts, scanning the ground for dead carcasses.

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.
