Bestial Human Vulture Hand drawn Ink art by William McAusland, writing by Colin Chapman and W. McAusland Bald-headed and ugly, bestial human vultures and condors are the least appealing of the bird-men, and their dietary preferences and reputations do nothing to endear them to human communities. They are carnivores with a decided preference for carrion. Indeed, they prefer carrion that is particularly ripe, as they say it adds an extra layer of flavor, and while they can eat fresh meat, they enjoy rotting flesh much more. This has given them a reputation as eaters of the dead, and grave-robbing has sometimes been attributed to them, often correctly. It is a rare human community that will accept one, even when accompanied by human and mutant human allies.

You can play these bestial human critters using the new rule book. Check it out: https://www.outlandarts.com/expansionrules.htm

Past Photo Favorites - Turkey Vultures - They are majestic fliers and use the thermals to surf the sky. When I’ve seen them they flew in large arcs and circles across the sky “The turkey vulture is a scavenger and feeds almost exclusively on carrion. It finds its food using its keen eyes and sense of smell, flying low enough to detect the gasses produced by the beginnings of the process of decay in dead animals. In flight, it uses thermals to move through the air, flapping its wings infrequently. It roosts in large community groups. Lacking a syrinx—the vocal organ of birds—its only vocalizations are grunts or low hisses. It nests in caves, hollow trees, or thickets. Each year it generally raises two chicks, which it feeds by regurgitation. It has very few natural predators. In the United States, the vulture receives legal protection under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918.” - Wikipedia #PastPhotoFavorites #TurkeyVulture #Vulture #Scavenger #CarrionEater #VulturesOfInstagram #Birds #Bird #BirdPhotography #Birding #BirdingPhotography #PhotoByJeriRae #Naturalist (at Santa Fe, New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co0fYQbv2cX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
