Resistance to Disease (Ex): A vulture has a cast-iron stomach. It has a +2 bonus on Fortitude saves to resist normal diseases, but not supernatural or magical diseases such as mummy rot.

Skills: A vulture has a +4 racial bonus on Spot and Survival checks.

Vultures are not aggressive, except over a food source. They can home in on rotting flesh from miles away, flocking in large numbers and fighting over the food among themselves and other scavengers. If another nearby creature is close to death when the flock arrives, the vultures are not above helping it along.
