Looks like, game allows spawning of 'Mulitishot' prefix if two conditions are true
1. Monster is not listed in monstats.txt as melee (has blank space in isMelee column)
2. Monster is allowed to spawn with mulitishot (has blank space in nomultishot column in monstats.txt)
All vulture-type monsters (vulture1) have blanks in nomultishot, isMelee, rangedtype and flying columns. Other monsters with such properties are carver shamans, maggots, unravelers etc (ie valid candidates for multishot).
Thus, we can conclude that
1. Vultures aren't flying monsters, their flight is special attack
2. Since they aren't melee monsters and are allowed to be spawn with multishot, well... they are spawning.
