Biology
Vullaby resembles a baby vulture. It has a plump, stout body covered in dark gray feathers, tiny wings with gray tips, and pink feet with three clawed toes. Its neck is short and supports a round, pink head devoid of any feathers, except for a crest on the top. There is a collar of fluffy, light gray feathers around its neck. It has a small gray beak and red eyes. It seems to be wearing a broken skull as a diaper-like undergarment, hence its species name. Vullaby either finds this bone itself or uses one found for it by Mandibuzz. Vullaby is known to chase after weaker creatures. Vullaby is a female-only species.

Sun
|
It protects its plump posterior with the bones of prey it has consumed. As it grows, it replaces the bones.
|
Moon

It can't fly yet and must wait until its wings have developed more. Since it's still at a playful age, it hops around friskily.
|
Ultra Sun
|
Mandibuzz gives it the bones it wears. Vullaby's wings are short, so it can't fly yet, but it jumps around, dreaming of wide open skies.
|
Ultra Moon
|
Its healthy appetite leads to visible growth spurts. It often has to replace the bones it wears as its size increases.
