Mother Vulture is a psychopomp usher who reflects the duality of new life arising from the decay of others. She feasts on the enemies of psychopomps to fertilise soil and give birth to more psychopomps, and judges souls seeking redemption.

Home

A reclusive individual, Mother Vulture lives in the Rasputitase, with only her closest servants for company.

Appearance

Mother Vulture's true form is a barely humanoid, hunched, ugly creature. Her two necks are distended, each ending in a masked head with a cavernous mouth. Four black feathered wings conceal her body, except when she eats. Mother Vulture usually takes the form of a young, blind mother.

Church

Druids

Unusually for the entire pantheon of monitor demigods, Mother Vulture counts significant numbers of druids within her following. These druids relate to the Flesheater's portfolio of consumption and decay, renewal, and transformation, which reflects the natural order.
