Are there any carrion birds in Armageddon? Vultures, condors, ravens/crows?

I don't know about crows and ravens, but there are definitely vultures.

What are other common scavengers?

Pretty much everything. Most animals(and humanoids) in Zalanthas will resort to scavenging in one form or another in order to survive. Ever looked at the corpse pile in Allanak? It describes people picking through the corpses, I believe.

I don't mean to be rude, but this doesn't answer my question. Can anyone list some common -animals- in Zalanthas that are scavengers primarily and not predators? I can only think of one or two off the top of my head, vultures being one of them.

Off the top of my head... jozhals, buzzards, sunback lizards and goudra are pretty common scavengers. The animals documentation should list them off.

Gortok should also be pretty scavenger-y.

Well, tembo are predatory scavengers. The "animals" page, which you can access by going to general information from the homepage, will tell you more about other animals.

I don't know if they are or not, but Vestric (being a rodent-like bird) made me think of a carrion eater.  How about Jakhals?  They seem rather predatory though.  I can't remember all the names of the various man-sized lizards and stuff... but some of them are probably scavengers.

The ones I know of are buzzards, vultures, kank flies, jozhals, rats... and so on.

Birds in particular, however, would be the aforemention buzzards and vultures, as well as hawks and probably smaller, non-coded birds.

And players.  All players are scavengers.

Yeah.... Just about anything will scavenge and pick at dead stuff.
