Description

A vulchling is one of a race of bird-like creatures with the appearance of vultures with vaguely human features. A vulchling favors desolate or subterranean lairs. A vulchling will consort with harpies or even vrocks at times. A vulchling roosts in trees or on ledges and swoops down upon unsuspecting prey, attacking with extended talons. Thereafter, the vulchling hops to the attack with its sharp beak.
