the vulture and the zombie

(Actually, I see a Dark Crystal Skeksis, covered in whipped cream...)

You know, I do great impressions of the Chamberlain, the Garthim Master, the Emperor, and the Scientist... but it's a completely wasted talent in a text-based medium!

Ooh, great image! But I think it would work better with a "witch hunter" archetype than a "knight in shining armor" like the paladin -- although I guess the paladin's game mechanics work just fine for it.

That really depends on your paladin stereotype doesn't it.

Ooh, I like this idea alot also...

Here are some pictures of giant vultures (taken by me, copyright me) feel free to use them for inspiration and such.

p.s. Buzzards aren't vultures at all.

Nifty idea.
I suppose any giant carrion eater would do.

Hmmm, I don't know where you would find any these days, but Grenadier used to have a vulture figure and rider as part of it's Dark Elf line in Fantasy Warriors. Sculpted by Mark Copplestone it is a pretty nifty figure, I wish that I had a few more myself...

River of Blood had a carrion dragon that likes to eat corpses and therefore hates corpses that run away... e.g. undead.

I think it's really nice and wouldn't assume it appropriate to have a living animal as companion to a ghoulthing.

That's a really fantastic idea. Like it a lot. So much so, that its going to have to go in the stealing pile!

I think it's quite reasonable that vultures would try to eat zombies, then use skeletons as 'beak-picks'

Such a beast could be magical. Perhaps blessed by/a pet of the God of Death? Kind of like a slightly creepy pegasus.

Perhaps a celestial vulture? Advance it to large sized...

I wonder what sort of basic personality it would have. i.e. Dog = friendly, Cat = aloof, Giant Dire Vulture = ?

Giant Dire Vulture = ?

beagle doing a happy dance every time it catches another undead.

brooding or burping, no middle ground
