Vulture (Fallout 76)

The vulture is a deceased creature in Fallout 76. It was originally cut, but a corpse of the vulture was introduced in the Wastelanders update.

Background
The body of a large, mutated vulture can be found pinned to a large cliff face at Seneca Rocks.

Characteristics
The vulture is a significantly larger variant of the pre-War scavenging bird. It rivals the scorchbeast in size and is among the rarest sights in Appalachia. After doubling many times in scale compared to the pre-War equivalent, the vulture also has five, hooked talons, large upper arms and comparatively smaller hind legs. Its head is featherless, consisting of a jagged, vestigial beak. What few feathers remain are found on its back and are black in color. The Vault Dwellers cannot interact with it.

Behind the scenes

 * The vulture was originally a concept design for the scorchbeast, but was cut in favor of the bat model during development.
 * References to the vulture still exist in the quest Heart of the Enemy. The viable scorchbeast DNA has an editor ID of BoSz04_VultureDNA.
 * The finished model for the vulture has been present in the game's files since launch, but was only posed and placed in-game as of the Wastelanders update.


 * The vulture may be mutated from either of the two vulture species found in West Virginia - the black vulture or the turkey vulture.
