Carrion bird



Carrion birds are large, carnivorous, scavenger birds. Species include buzzards, rocs, condors, vultures, and swoops. They usually have featherless heads and broad, slow-flapping wingspans. Carrion birds are sometimes found lurking about the bones of dead beasts and ill-managed graveyards. They can be found in Mulgore, Westfall, Tanaris, the Arathi Highlands, Badlands, Blasted Lands, Thousand Needles, Desolace, Deadwind Pass, and Redridge Mountains.

In The Burning Crusade, there is an Outland version of the carrion bird which includes two heads with brightly colored feathers. This version is found in Hellfire Peninsula and Terokkar Forest.
