FASA Creature Concept 365 Challenge Day 313
FASA 365 Day 313, Massa Vulturis, (Clump Vulture) Flightless, Scavenger 6-7ft
Named for the ridiculous and useless clump of feathers at the oversized posterior.
Unlike many vultures, the “Clumper’s” wings are too small to sustain flight. The legs are also too spindly to manage a landing. So, jumping is also not practiced.
How does it survive?
The Clumper has a very big mouth, and is extremely loud and vocal. When the Clump Vulture sees a group feeding, it produces a loud piercing shrill call; painful and distasteful to its adversaries.
Once it successfully chases away its rivals, it eats what it wants and then stands guard over the rest. Letting no other animal benefit. Only itself.
