Raven

Ravens are creatures found in the Mojave Wasteland in 2281.

Background
Ravens in the Mojave Wasteland have relatively the same appearance as ravens from before the Great War. They are one of the few creatures to be visually unaffected by radiation.

Biology
Ravens in Fallout: New Vegas have distinctive black feathers. They are not considered an enemy, and will fly away if the player tries to get near it (approximately 10–15 feet). They can be killed if detected early enough, but there is no associated challenge for this other than Lord Death, I Dismember You, and a few others which are tied to any enemy. They will explode when shot, similar to how normal NPCs explode when killed when the player has the Bloody Mess perk.

Locations

 * Ravens are common wherever dead or crucified bodies are found, such as Nipton and any other Legion raided site.
 * They are more common around civilized areas, becoming more and more scarce the further the player travels from towns and settlements.
 * A large number of ravens can be seen around the Big Horn Saloon and the Boulder City ruins surrounding area.
 * They can gather around the graves in Goodsprings Cemetery.
 * Ravens are often found in pairs, especially along highways.
 * Around and in the entrance to Primm on the highway.

Appearances
Ravens only appear in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bugs

 * Even if the raven is in mid-air, if you hit the area it was originally standing on (a few seconds after it takes off) it will still be killed and "dismembered" even though your hit did not visually make contact. This makes it possible to kill it with melee or unarmed weapons.
 * If you kill a raven while looking down the sights, as soon as you shoot it, the iron sight animation will glitch, and you will appear to be holding the gun lower than normal. Releasing the aim button will fix this, and has not occurred when killing any other creatures or enemies in the game.

Sounds

 * Raven taking off
 * Raven flying away
