If your vulture gets too heavy it will stop and hang in the air flapping.

Easiest raise from babys they only eat spoiled meat.takes very little effort cuase of the slow spoil time and stack size.

They stay on your shoulder even when swimming. Easier to bring them back to your underwater cave if you don’t have cryopods.

I wish you could send these things out to scope out enemy bases that would be amazing

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!

Vulture is an ARK creature that appears in multiple Islands and likes spoiled things. You can tame it with items of all kinds raw and rotten.

Vultures, vultures

Vultures everywhere

Vultures, vultures

Fly without a care

They stink of mold and rotten things

They'll make you wish you had some wings!

I walk around with a large group of em. Best personal defense, gathers a ton of meat and if you have alot of em with you capped off. No one ever really messes with you. Lol

Had about 16-20 vultures in the desert and all were above 200 with nothing but melee pumped, they got so much polymer

Very good defencive tame. Attacks from your shoulder and does good damage. Protects you well when you get knocked out by a club or other means. Can also be used as a swarm. Similar to diamorphadons. If not being used for combat, it makes a good back pack. Definitely a very good combat tame with high melee.

Just use it as Bait for a Griffen

Apparently these things can make really quick work of oil rigs; I was doing my own thing on ragnarok and I see a bunch of 480 damage markers and lo and behold it was a vulture destroying my oil rig. Yes, ONE vulture. It was so strange. Did anyone else have a similar experience?

Great for attacking loners alone , but in a pack these can take on gigas

In Rockwells innards on genesis part 2 you can chop or mane some parts of him and it give spoiled meat up so more people can see this

They can eat corpses from your shoulder so be careful.
