The vulture was an animal that came to Sir Dan's aid twice during his journey to defeat Zarok the Sorcerer in the 14th century.
History
Late 14th century
Though initially interested in Dan only as a source of food, the vulture developed a special bond with him.[1][1.1] It saved Dan from the Jabberwocky and later saved him from falling to his second death after the destruction of Zarok's Lair.[1]
Characteristics
Appearance
The vulture was a huge bird of prey. Its body was largely covered by brown feathers safe for its neck area where the feathers were white. Its head was unfeathered and therefore bald.
Gameplay
The vulture is only featured in cutscenes.
Book of Gallowmere entry
Birds only like one person in their life. For some reason, this one likes Dan.
This scavenger saw a corpse-meal, and instead found a friend. What a lovely way to meet![1.1]
Behind the scenes
Development
MediEvil (1998 original)
According to Jason Riley, who was responsible for creating all the full motion videos (FMVs) in the game, the vulture used in MediEvil was an improved version of the vultures from the PlayStation FMVs of Silverload, a previous game by the studio.[2]
