Special
Special Abilities (1-2 on 1d6)
1. It emits a horrid stench in a gaseous blast of gooey rotten matter when slain, causing anyone within ten feet to save vs. Poison or drop anything in their hands, fall to their knees, and wretch helplessly for 1d4 rounds.
2. A bitten victim must save vs. Poison or be inflicted by rot grubs.
3. Following a hit, a victim must save vs. Poison or suffer the effects of a disease similar to a giant rat bite.
4. It shrieks in the face of its victim (one only) so loudly and horrifically they must save vs. Spells or suffer the effects of cause fear (reversed remove fear) for 1d6 rounds, as well as deafened for 1d6 hours.
5. A hit victim must save vs. Paralysis or be paralyzed for 2d6 rounds, just like a ghoul's touch (elves are likewise immune).
6. A victim must save vs. Spells or be inflicted by a horrid decaying odor for 1d6 days, attracting scavengers (at least one additional roll for wandering monsters during each interval). The stench also means a character's Charisma is reduced by 8 points (minimum score of 3). Their chances of stealth is greatly reduced, and effectively impossible when facing creatures with a keen sense of smell.
Environments

An undead carnivorous bird with the appearance of a large vulture, but with major defects such as missing eyes, torn beak, and protruding broken bones
A Rot Vulture is an undead carnivorous bird that has the same general appearance as a large, healthy vulture at a distance, but up close it has major defects such as missing eyes, torn beak, and protruding broken bones. It stinks of horrible decay. It is ravenous and driven to attack. As with all undead, it can be Turned by a Cleric (as a zombie), and is immune to sleep, charm, and hold spells.
A rot vulture attacks with a combined pecking, clawing, and wing-flogging attack that is rolled with one attack roll. Some rot vultures have certain special abilities (1-2 on 1d6 indicates such). The GM can roll randomly or choose the effect, and may add more types of horrors.
