Hello I am working on a merc band and one of the npcs is a vulture-man thing. Looked in AtB no vulture in there. Can anyone please help me out.

I can't think off hand of a vulture person, but there are a bunch of things close to it. The easiest might be to just take an AtB bird, maybe add an option for disease resistance, and just change the appearance. The Condoroid in WB9:South America 2 has a rather vulturine face, as do some of the species in Aliens Unlimited (esp. Gallopas and Gymoy).

Do you have Heroes Unlimited 2 (HU2)?
You can turn to the section on "Mutants" and flip a few pages and be in a segment for "mutant animals"...
Also, I think you could make a super hero with "winged flight" "Lycanthropy (vulture)" and that one "eats anything" power?

while there may be no actual "Vulture" stats... we can always imagine our own.
+4 P.S. you tear flesh from bones to eat, you rip apart kills.
+6 P.E. carrion eater, desert survivor, long duration flier, disease resistant, feels like punching a tractor tire.
-6 P.B. uglies as sin. "Mr. Personality" by Gillette is your theme song.
+8 vs Horror factor, you eat the dead, and fight lions for your food. There isn't much that can scare you.
Horror factor: 12 - Vultures aren't exactly as cute as "calico critters"
Flight, hover, glide, Vertical take off or landing.
Claws and Beak natural weapons: 1d6 s.d.c one-handed slice or nibble... 4d6 S.d.c. feathered frenzy
Harbinger of doom
*once per encounter, the mere presence of the hybrid Man-vulture mutant automatically forces a target to re-roll any die roll where bad results lead to the creature's death...

Road Hogs has mutant Buzzards, Condors and Vultures (page 6-7).

Aliens Unlimited, under the Avian aliens, has a vulturoid species(offhand I can't remember their name, but they're there).

Thanks guys the suggestions are all helpful. I really am grateful for all the help!

If you are looking for a Vulture like race the Gymoy in Aliens Unlimited work really well in Rifts. If you are OK with just a big bird Rifts WB 9: South America 2 has the Condoroid and Falconoid RCCs.

Currently thinking about hoe I will flesh it out. Thank you all for the help. You are all amazing people.

You could use a Lyn-Srial from the New West. While it's true that most of them walk a righteous path there can be some that will take payment as a mercenary.
They are not vultures but as close as I can think of.
