Condor

The largest vultures in the world, with wingspans reaching over 10 feet and weights of up to 33 pounds, condors are primarily scavengers of large animals. Unlike other scavenging birds, it does not often harry the wounded and dying. Among the longest-lived birds, condors can live up to 70 years. Occasionally (1 in 20 chance), when a condor reaches 50 years of age, it develops human-like intelligence, and may have the spells, additional hit points, saving throw bonuses, and other benefits of a level 1d3 cleric or 1d4 wizard (equal chance of each). 90% of condor clerics worship death gods, for they are nourished by the death of others; the other 10% may worship any god. These condors can live to 150 years or longer, and may be of any alignment. Griffon Vulture: Init +3; Atk beak +0 melee (1d3); AC 11; HD 1d5; MV 5’ or fly 50’; Act 1d20; SV Fort +2; Ref +1; Will +2; AL N. These are large vultures whose wingspan is from 7 feet 6 inches to just over 9 feet. Colonies of these scavengers number up to 6d30 members. Enough griffon vultures can force smaller scavengers and predators away from a carcass. Wounded creatures may be harried by griffon vultures, although they are not usually attacked until it is clear that they can no longer defend themselves.
