This gigantic bird has black feathers, but like a vulture, its plumage doesn't cover the ebony skin of its head. Its wings shine with an oily substance. A pair of glowing red eyes peers out from above a jagged beak

Necromancers create deadborn vultures from the eggs of giant eagles and giant owls. Once grown, the resulting black birds make excellent mounts that become undead creatures when they die.

Strategies and Tactics:

A deadborn vulture attacks from above by making a diving charge. It prefers to take out flying opponents first, using its claws in a Flyby attack. It does the same to earthbound foes, maintaining the advantage of airborne assaults. When it fears for its life, a deadborn vulture uses its foul breath, catching as many enemies in the cone as possible.
After death, a deadborn vulture becomes a zombie. It continues to attack, but in its mindless state, it might land and attack from the ground.

You have to kill it twice. The second time is harder.

    What about with the new online systems, where pretty much everything is done for you, then have everyone pile into Vent or something.
