History
These Beings were the first extraterrestrials the Souls came into contact with. They discovered The Origin, conquered it like they did with other planets, and made life difficult for the souls.
However, the Souls found out they could use the Vultures as hosts. They assimilated the Vultures, as well as the inhabitants of the other planets the Vultures conquered.
Physiology
They would necessarily have to be larger than Souls and have something akin to a brain, because they were assimilated by the Souls.
Culture
The Vultures' nature is in stark contrast with the kind Souls. Vultures are cruel and unkind to those whose planets they conquer.
