Crow
From Resident Evil Wiki
The Crow is one of the most common enemies in that appeared in the Resident Evil series since the original Resident Evil. They've appeared in every RE game to date, however in Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 5, they appeared un-infected.
[edit] Information
Crows are a common Bird species, with populations spanning from Eurasia, to the Americas. After the outbreak caused by James Marcus in the Arklay Mountains region, many crows became infected with the t-virus after consuming smaller, infected animals.
Unlike other animals infected by the t-virus, crows showed no visible signs of infection aside from their increased size. If threatened however, they would attack their prey in a pack. Otherwise, they were harmless. It was through the crows that S.T.A.R.S. Bravo team member Forest Speyer became infected with the t-virus.
Infected Crows would appear again after Raccoon City had become completely infected by the t-virus. These crows were noticeably more aggressive than the ones found at the Arklay Research Facility.
[edit] Appearances
The Crows have appeared as enemies in every Resident Evil to date. Crows were the easiest enemies to kill as it only takes one shot, however they hard to shoot since they fly.
Throughout his search for Ashley Graham in Europe, Leon encountered normal, un-infected crows on a regular basis. These crows were of no threat whatsoever. These Crows had a tendency of collecting shiny objects, stealing pesetas, some even stealing grenades.
Through Resident Evil 5 Chris Redfield and Sheva encountered many un-infected crows similar to the crows in Re4. A flock of crows was feeding on a dead animal shortly before the pair encountered a group of Majini.
Crows also appeared in the movie Resident Evil: Extinction, where they are shown to have fed off of infected flesh. It is speculated in the film that this propensity is the reason Las Vegas is devoid of the Undead. These crows are killed when Alice telekinetically blasts them with fire from a flamethrower, incinerating them.
