Carrion bird



A large, carnivorous, scavenger bird that also goes by the name "Buzzard" or "Carrion Bird". They usually have featherless heads and broad, slow-flapping wingspans. Vultures are sometimes found lurking about the bones of dead beasts and ill-managed graveyards. They can be found in Mulgore, Westfall, Tanaris, the Arathi Highlands, the Badlands, the Blasted Lands, Thousand Needles, Desolace, and the Redridge Mountains.

Additional notes:
 * Vultures are hostile beasts that will attack players that venture too close.
 * Most vultures have a knock-down ability called Swoop that interrupts attacks by characters and requires time for them to get up after being knocked down.

As A Hunter Pet

 * Have medium HP, medium armor, and medium damage.
 * Eats only Meat and Fish.
 * Can learn Dive, Bite, Claw, Cower, Growl, and their special skill, Screech.
 * Excellent as a pet, due to their variety of skills, their aoe taunt (Screech), and their overall stats. The Spiteflayer, a rare spawn in the Blasted Lands, has a blazing 1.2 attack speed.
