Trivia

General

Apart from their heads and necks, the adults of both Griffon and Condor Vulture are nearly identical.

Griffon-Based

Vulture was added alongside the first Owl remodel.
Vulture’s head was recolored in the Condor and Harpy Eagle update to be pale pink instead of bright pink.
Argentavis' call is very similar to that of Vulture, likely due to them being biological relatives.
Despite the beak having two different parts of different colors, these are not colorable individually.
