Miros Vulture

Miros Vultures are large, aerial beasts added in the Downpour DLC that resemble a combination between s and s.

Appearance
Miros Vultures have the head shape, glowing eyes and scissor-like beak of a Miros Bird, and the overdeveloped wings and expelling gas of a Vulture. They have two pairs of wings full of sharp blade-like feathers.

Abilities
In addition to the previously present abilities of Vultures, they also sport an explosive laser blast. When used, a laser is shone out of their eye, emitting a sound similar to a laser. The laser slowly turns from yellow to red, and the light on the ground where the laser hits also shrinks. Eventually, an explosion occurs at the point the laser touches.

Apart from flying, they are also capable of moving swiftly on land. Furthermore, unlike regular Vultures, they will pursue the player even through narrow spaces This means that actions like hiding inside a tunnel would not be sufficient for a Miros Vulture to give up on its prey.

Combat
Due to its large health pool using any types of is highly recommended to deal significant amount of damage when attempting to stand a chance against it. Evading its constant unpredictable snapping which insta-kills poses many levels of difficulties when fighting in a flat open land, try to find any tunnels or cover small enough to hide when it strays to close to the ground. When injured it will stop snipping and open its mouth wide to retaliate back by emitting a laser beam from its mouth that slowly charges up a that shoots to the position where the laser beam is directed at, which the miros vulture is completely immune to. To avoid the explosion quickly move away and hide in any place where it cannot follow or out of range from the explosion radius, after shooting out the grenade it will resume back to its default state. It takes a long wind up time before shooting out the grenade so you can take advantage of that circumstances and sneak in a few spears throw before hiding. It takes about roughly 4 to the head to kill a miro vulture.

Trivia
Miros Vultures can be summoned by a Vulture Grub, although very rarely (rate needs checking)
