Wispy, hot crevice that is surrounding by a bunch of skeletons. A pile of treasure sits in the middle. Hundreds of hungry vultures stare down upon the treasure, eager to devour any adventurer that draws near.

I am a vulture that is familiar with death. I enjoy watching living things take their last breathe. I am a vital part of the ecosystem.
We are waiting for fools to enter looking for the treasure. I will be the first to devour those who dare to enter. That seems very aggressive, couldn't you guys just politely ask them to leave? I am a vulture. I need flesh to survive. Are you suggesting we become vegetarians. Without us the ecosystem would collapse. You can have some of my food. It's not a problem, I'm happy to share. Keep it. This will not sit well with my stomach. I will have heartburn if I eat that. Okay, let me know if you change your mind. How did you vultures amass such a vast treasure? We stole it from our victims. We use it to lure new victims in here. Here is the bones of one of our victims. It was a pleasure to watch it die. Yikes. I don't even like hurting flies. I'd make a terrible vulture. What do you catch in your webs if not bugs? I catch the flies, but then I always feel bad and I let them go. That's just the kind of spider that I am. You must look past your feelings. Every creature has a part to play in the ecosystem. Without us playing our part the ecosystem will go into a downward decline. Close your eyes while eating and imagine it something else. The flies do taste a little like chocolate cake....hmmm.
