Vulture Mask

The vulture mask's general purpose is to protect the weak spot of the vulture: its face. It can be obtained by hitting the vulture's mask with a spear just right, or knocking it off with a powerful explosive. Be careful, however, because vultures that have been unmasked are twice as persistent and violent.

After it's knocked off the vulture (or looted off its corpse), the mask can be worn in order to frighten off any animal scared of vultures, including most lizards and Scavengers, but not Squidcadas or other creatures not intimidated by vultures. Slugcat will wear the mask when not otherwise occupied with the hand holding it (i.e. while, climbing, crawling, swimming); the mask has no collision with the environment or projectiles. The mask cannot be thrown, and can only be dropped. As with other items, a lizard's tongue is capable of ripping the mask from Slugcat's hand or face.

Trivia

 * Slugcat will turn to mask to the air when eating to let food get to its mouth.
 * Slugcat occasionally holds it like a shield, even though the mask provides no physical protection. In this state it has no benefit.
 * Masks needs to be held in Slugcat's hands and cannot be swallowed/regurgitated for storage.
 * Lizards, except for the green variety, will all be scared if the mask is on the players face, and Scavengers will be more likely to attack or flee.
