Ordinary, Huge, Giant. Raven, Hugin and Munin (Odin's ravens) "Thought && Memory".

Ravens (|| rooks) && crows are found from cold-temperate to tropical climes. <>
They are principally scavengers,
but,
being omnivorous,
they will raid crops,
nests,
or unattended caches of food.

Never Surprised: All birds of this type travel in flocks,
although a few might be encountered seemingly alone;
these are scouts.
As soon as any approaching creature which threaten the flock is seen or detected,
the scout || scouts will give warning cries,
screen themselves,
and mainain a safe distance while keeping track of the creatures and reporting events to the flock by means of racous calls and,
possibly,
movements as well.
Thus, ravens || crows can never be surprised during lighted conditions.

Because of their INT,
these birds are 10% likely to attack an opponent's eye. <vary this 10% depending on type of raven/crow?>
In other words,
whenever a to-hit roll indicates a hit,
there is a 1 in 10 chance of eye attacks and resultant loss of the organ.
<effect?>

Ravens && crows have their own,
limited language. <noted in the DMG?>
Certain ravens,
including some huge and most giant specimens,
can speak as many as 100 words of the common tongue and can communicate in meaningful phrases.

Treasure: All birds of this sort love objects which glitter && shine.
Thus,
they are 25% likely to have several small metal objects,
gems,
and the like in their nests.

In their nests,
there may be Type Q treasure (a 1 in 6 chance per nest, base gem value 10 gp).

The raven is the sacred animal of Raven,Anshar, Lei Kung, Nephthys, Death, Odin, and Enlil.

Aw shucks!

While I must agree that the sky is right pretty there, glorious even, I sure had plenty of animals here in Wisconsin, including a one-third ownership in a billy goat (  ) when I was around age 13, a real herd of horses when I was in my 40s, one of them a state junior champion mare. In the mix was a raccoon, crow, rabbits, chickens, ducks, and geese plus sheep, swine, and cattle a bit before the time of the equines.
