Vulture

Vultures are an enemy found in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. They are found predominately in the Desert of Mystery sitting atop cacti, waiting for Link to engage them. Once he has walked close enough to one, or struck at it with a weapon, the Vulture will fly around Link in a circular pattern until he defeats it, or moves to a different area of Hyrule. When Link acquires the Bombos Medallion, a Vulture is shown catching fire from the Medallion's power. They are also shown accompanying the Thief during the ending sequence.
