Miros Vultures are large, aerial predators exclusive to the More Slugcats Expansion. They are highly aggressive and are capable of using an explosive laser in self-defense. They resemble a combination between the 
Miros Bird and the 
Vulture.
Appearance
The Miros Vulture has the head shape, glowing eyes, and long, scissor-like beak of a Miros Bird as well as the large wings, shoulder humps, and pink gas expulsion of a Vulture. They have 2 pairs of wings, more slender than those of a standard Vulture's, each bearing many sharp blade-like 'feathers'. Each wing appears to be hooked at the tip. When charging up their laser, the color of their feathers flickers rapidly.
Tips
Combat
Given their large health pool, 
Explosive Spears are highly recommended when attempting to fight a Miros Vulture. Evading their constant snapping is difficult when fighting in open areas; access to tunnels or cover narrow enough to hide in are crucial when the Miros Vulture swoops close to the ground. When injured, they open their mouth wide to retaliate by emitting a laser beam from their mouth that slowly charges up a powerful explosion, shooting where the laser beam is directed. Miros Vultures are highly resistant to their own explosions. To avoid the explosion, the player should move away and hide in a space where the Miros Vulture cannot follow or outside of the explosion radius; after using this ability, they resume their default attack. The explosion attack has a long wind-up, allowing for a few quick hits before taking cover. It takes about 4 Explosive Spears to the head to kill a Miros Vulture. In areas such as 
The Exterior, Miros Vultures can be baited to enter small pipes headfirst, allowing Slugcat to spear them in the head and retrieve the Spears relatively safely.
Evasion
Evading Miros Vultures is difficult due to their speed and persistence. The only effective distraction is the use of a 
Flashbang, which temporarily blinds them; however, Flashbangs are rare in most areas that Miros Vultures frequent. The Miros Vulture is also unpredictable, stopping in one spot only to go a completely different way. A use of Explosive Jumping is required in Evasion in large spaces.
When spotted, escaping to the nearest pipes or tunnels and making use of Sliding and Explosive Jumping is advised. Miros Vultures are very persistent, often remaining at the spot they last saw Slugcat.
Abilities & Behavior
In addition to the abilities of ordinary Vultures, Miros Vultures possess the snapping beak of a Miros Bird, making their attacks fast and lethal.
Explosive Laser
Miros Vultures are capable of using a hitscan explosive laser blast, which they use in retaliation when injured. When used, a telegraphing laser shines out of their eye, emitting a sound similar to a 
Vulture Grub 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.
Mobility
Miros Vultures are capable of moving swiftly both on land and through the air. Unlike regular Vultures, they can pursue their prey even through narrow spaces. This means that hiding inside a tunnel is not always sufficient to escape a Miros Vulture.

Trivia
- Miros Vultures can be summoned by a
Vulture Grub . - Miros Vultures may accidentally bite each other, causing the one attacked to start charging a laser blast, though this doesn't cause any further confrontation.
- In the rooms leading to the
Saint-exclusive 
Echo in 
Auxiliary Transmission Array, the Echo's aura causes Miros Vultures to fall from the sky, asleep, much like regular Vultures near the 
Chimney Canopy Echo. This makes it possible to farm points from them after completing Saint's pilgrimage. - Unlike
Miros Birds, Miros Vultures are not immune to drowning and suffocate in around 20 seconds. - It is possible to carry the corpse of a Miros Vulture into a pipe without Slugcat dropping it, unlike
Vultures, 
King Vultures, and Miros Birds with "Vanilla exploits" disabled in Rain World Remix settings. - While Vultures and King Vultures lose interest in prey with time spent in a single room, Miros Vultures instead increase their focus on hunting prey over time.
- In older versions of the game, Miros Vultures had a -90% multiplier added to their relationships with other creatures while having maximum aggression towards Slugcat. This was later fixed in the 1.19.14 Quality of Life update by integrating the Miros Vulture Priority Fix mod by Coder23848
