Hairy Vulture

A Hairy Vulture is a creature from the 2007 movie Bridge to Terabithia. The Hairy Vulture never appeared in the book by Katherine Paterson, because she never revealed anything AbOUT the realm of Terabithia. But when her son, David wrote the script for the movie, he showed more of Terabithia, and the Hairy Vulture was born.

Origin of Name

At Lark Creek Elementary School there is a bully named Gary Fulcher who always picks on Jesse and Leslie. As time goes on at School, he keeps picking on Jesse, who develops anger toward Gary for bullying him. Jesse and Leslie's imagination created the Hairy Vulture out of anger toward Gary. This was their way off battling their anger without releasing it on Gary and leading to trouble.

Background Information

Jesse's dad works at a hardware store and has keys to the cash register and everything else in the shop. One day Jesse helps his father by opening a cabinet in their greenhouses and he sets down the keys when he is done. His sister May Belle took the keys and gave them to Leslie to make BElls for Terabithia. But after Leslie leaves the keys in Terabithia, they are stolen by the Dark Master. Jesse and Leslie go to Terabithia to get the keys back before Jess gets in trouble with his father. One of the major parts of the battle are the Hairy Vultures. The Hairy Vultures were defeated easily and the keys returned.
