Vultures are birds of prey mentioned in the DreamWorks Dragons Franchise.
Description[]
A vulture is a bird of prey that scavenges on carrion. There are 23 extant species of vulture (including Condors). Old World vultures include 16 living species native to Europe, Africa, and Asia; New World vultures are restricted to North and South America and consist of seven identified species, all belonging to the Cathartidae family. A particular characteristic of many vultures is a bald, unfeathered head. This bare skin is thought to keep the head clean when feeding, and also plays an important role in thermoregulation.
Function[]
There is no mentioned function for the vulture in the franchise.
In real life, Vultures scavenge off dead animals and feed off them which helps the ecosystem and though not official they help people by eating the remains of dead runover animals off the roads. Which saves people a lot of time and money so they don't have to do it themselves.
