Vulture

Bodyguard

A Vulture perched on your shoulder can attack enemies that are close enough to the player, providing extra protection from attackers. (Level )

Living Missile

The Vulture, thankfully a passive tame, can be outright dangerous creature. Tamed Vultures will not initiate combat with living targets even if set to Aggressive or whistled to "Attack my Target," but these beaked terrors become fierce combatants when an ally is attacked.

A swarm of Vultures can be one of the most devastating things in the game. A pack of just 6-8 can make very light work of and can easily kill , and everything else you find in the caves (Note: these creatures can spawn at level 200 and above), making them great for artifact gathering. (Level and )

Pet

Vultures may seem an ugly and undesirable pet to many, but they are as loyal and affectionate as any shoulder-mounted pet, and they can be the perfect spooky accessory to a macabre aesthetic outfit.
