Vultus

Vultus are fairly large birds of prey that inhabit various places in Astrolin. They mostly scavenge off of killed monsters, but they will attack smaller creatures such as Jaggi, Gargwa, or even people. They can be very disruptive during quests, but they shouldn't be able to single handedly kill even a slightly experienced hunter. Vultus makes its first appearance in Monster Hunter: Wyvern Instincts.

Physiology
Vultus are bird wyverns only slightly smaller than a Gargwa. They strongly resembled a Crested Eagle. They have head feathers that stick up. Their feathers are mostly grey, with a white belly. The feathers also have Black spots dotted around.

Behavior
Vultus have a habit of flying into the air and circling around before they attack. They are generally seen in small groups, but on rare occasions, areas will see large flocks of them. It is unknown why, but it is believed this is a breeding season. Although, it is inconsistent.

Abilities
Vultus usually dive-bomb their prey, tackling them to the ground.
