Vulture Riding?

[Felis Alba]

Okay, I've seen a video before, and I can't be the only other person who's done it; anyone else managed to grab onto a vulture's back?

Ever since I saw this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cX3OmGQYaTc I had been trying to grab onto a vulture, but with no luck. Until one day, by a random accident, I did it in the arena. I have three screenshots, only two of which you can see me on it. In every screenshot, it's looking at me on it's back but unable to attack.

So, has anyone else managed to do this? And if so, can you include details, perhaps a screenshot, or anything else? It would be cool to discover more about the vultures; I find them to be quite interesting. Thanks for reading!

I fell on a vulture's back on accident in chimney canopy and got stuck there and the vulture kept looking up at me and then flew up REALLY FAST and I ended up getting off, but I fell to my death because the vulture flew so high.

It's rather unfortunate that you died, but good to know that someone else has done the same thing.

I actually saw a Scavenger ride a King Vulture in arena, the legend had held on and stabbed it with an explosive spear before being crushed into the ceiling and blown up. They lived and continued on to fight the Red Centipede of doom.

They are nothing but doom. Their only weaknesses are those smoke bombs that the deer like to eat.

Ikr? I've seen king vultures kill them in Garbage Wastes, but they are unstoppable

I've seen red centipedes grab and kill king vultures.

I've seen a Red Centipede shock a King multiple times and it continued living on after that, acting normal.

99% of the time they die after being shocked by a red centipede.

I'm just gonna try an arena mode with a ton of red centipedes and king vultures and watch everything go down.
So, does anyone have any ideas on how one could grab onto a vultures back? It if can be done on accident, perhaps grabbing on could be done on purpose. I believe it might take a combinations of timed movement to do it.

It's not an intended mechanic at all. It's just a result of the weird physics. When you get on a vulture's back, you tend to get stuck INSIDE them sometimes.

I understand that it's just a weird things that sometimes happens. But surely there's a way to cause it?

Today's note: I was fighting a vulture and accidentally landed on its back, getting stuck inside and riding for a little bit before using a spear to get myself off quickly before I could die of fall damage. It was fun.

Lovely XD. I know that this occurance is uncommon, but it your experience does the spear always hit the fulture or can you shoot it elsewhere? Because a slugcat Valkyrie needs to be a thing
