Tips & Strategies

Very much like a desert dimorphodon, taming a flock of vultures is very useful for battle, they can swarm enemies and deal damage fast. However, they are rather slow, so should be used as a defensive rather than offensive on PVP. For battle purposes, lvl up Health and Melee.
More Vulture Utility Tips
Vulture base damage is 23 per bite. A rex is 62 damage per bite. So at 300% damage ( which is incredibly easy to get with a vulture ) you essentially have a rex biting from your shoulder every 2-4 seconds. A vulture can get 600%+ damage. In other words, tame two high levels and breed them for nothing but absolutely devastating damage.
-These guys have a flight pattern like no other making them hard to hit.
-They can sit on your shoulder and deal mass damage (way more than a Rex) every 4-6 seconds.
-When on your shoulder they gain levels quickly and collect meat, meaning you can just forget they’re there.
-In a swarm you can have something like 68 vultures, ALL with bites worst than a Rex, team up and murder intruders.
-The main downside is that they won’t attack on whistle or when you provoke, only when you or a fellow animal is hit does it attack.
Do what you will with this knowledge get an army as I have done or just a few more, but make sure you own a vulture

Just discovered how to make the Vulture carry things besides spoiled meat! (Tested on ASE)
Step 1: Tame a fodder dino with low health/damage like a Dodo or Jerboa
Step 2: Load up the temporary tame with the items you want into the Vulture
Step 3: Put a Vulture with Neutral or Attack Target on your shoulder
Step 4: Make the temporary tame Aggressive and promptly unclaim it
Step 5: When the freed tame attacks you, it’ll get killed by the Vulture and its contents will end up in the Vulture’s inventory!
Ideally this should be done away from other tames or turrets. Vultures don’t seem to follow direct “Attack Target” commands, so this is really the only way to get them to attack foes. Useful for preserving things it normally wouldn’t eat, like Prime Fish Meat, Berries/Vegetables, and (unconfirmed but I might test it) perhaps even Wyvern Milk!
