Their feathers are black and shiny. The head is sometimes bald, but may be covered with black pinfeathers. Their great wingspan allows them to soar for hours, and they rarely land except to feed or sleep.As with all birds in the vulture family, condors lack strong talons for killing prey and feed strictly on carrion.  They gorge themselves on carcasses and live off the stored fat for days.Condor hens lay 1 - 2 eggs per year, and the chicks mature in two years.  Condor eggs and hatchlings are worth 30 - 60 gp. They can be trained to act as spotters or retrievers. Humanoids of Small size or smaller can train them to serve as aerial mounts. Condors can carry up to 80 extra pounds, either held in their claws or riding on their backs.Their feathers are prized for their size and beauty; pinion feathers are worth one sp each, other wing feathers one cp each. An intact condor is worth five to ten gp, depending on the market.  COMBATCondors are scavengers by nature, and will not usually hunt live prey.  Naturally, they will defend with bites if attacked, and try to flee if harassed.The condor was first detailed under the "Vulture" entry in the Forgotten Realms Monstrous Compendium, MC3 (1989).</blockquote>
