Vulture (Fallout 76)

The vulture is a creature found in Appalachia in the year 2103.

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

Biology
The vulture has a cracked, vestigial beak and keratinized growths which protect its head. It has massive musculature that bulges from beneath its pink, featherless skin. What few black feathers remain are found on its back and sprout from its tattered wings. The finger bones are multijointed, extending the wingspan much further and allowing for greater dexterity on the ground. Each finger ends in an enormous talon, a devolved trait from their ancient theropod ancestors. It appears to no longer be capable of powered flight, instead becoming a powerful climber.

Gameplay attributes
The vulture is technically a static object, and does not have any interaction with the player character.

Appearances
The vulture appears in Fallout 76, introduced in the Wastelanders update.

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