The SendingStone review

The vulture is a weak but opportunistic scavenger that seems to exist solely to clean up dead creatures. With a low challenge rating and unaligned alignment, they pose little threat to adventurers unless they are already weakened or surrounded by multiple vultures. While they have decent passive perception, their charisma is very low, reflecting their unpleasant appearance and behavior. They have a weak beak attack and low HP, making them easy prey for anything that decides to strike first. Overall, the vulture is a forgettable creature that exists mainly to add ambiance to the world rather than any real danger or challenge to players.
