The colossus vulture is a large, distinctly marked bird, with a wingspan twice the height of a giantman. Glossy black feathers and white markings on its broad wings and rounded tail give the vulture an ominous appearance, and feathers cover its legs to its feet. A dark ruff borders the colossus vulture's bald red head and neck. Its hooked bill and powerful talons are well suited for hunting.
