A Rot Vulture is an undead carnivorous bird that has the same general appearance as a large, healthy vulture at a distance, but up close it has major defects such as missing eyes, torn beak, and protruding broken bones. It stinks of horrible decay. It is ravenous and driven to attack. As with all undead, it can be Turned by a Cleric (as a zombie), and is immune to sleep, charm, and hold spells.

A rot vulture attacks with a combined pecking, clawing, and wing-flogging attack that is rolled with one attack roll. Some rot vultures have certain special abilities (1-2 on 1d6 indicates such). The GM can roll randomly or choose the effect, and may add more types of horrors.
