An Arbazan vulture was a bird native to the Arbazan homeworld.

While on the Founders' homeworld, Odo morphed into a Arbazan vulture to experience what it meant to be a vulture. He later claimed to Kira Nerys that his experience as the vulture was a remarkable and stimulating experience – that for a few moments he "actually felt like what it was like to be an Arbazan vulture," as he could feel the air currents beneath his wings and the exhilaration of soaring above the treetops.
