Crow (Fallout 4)

Crows are creatures found in the Commonwealth in 2287.

Background
Crows are one of the few creatures to be visually unaffected by radiation. In the Commonwealth, they seem to be less healthy and are missing a few patches of feathers. However, some crows are actually synths created by the Institute for spying.

Biology
Crows have distinctive black feathers and have three frontal talons on their feet. Synth crows appear to have red eyes instead of the greyish eyes of non-synths. Crows cannot be disintegrated with energy weapons.

Gameplay attributes
Crows do not register at all on the compass and cannot be targeted in V.A.T.S. Like radgulls, crows do not always fly away from the player character when approached. When killed they explode in a manner similar to those affected by the Bloody Mess perk, regardless of whether it is active.

Locations

 * Crows seem to spawn randomly and can sometimes be found in large groups.
 * Crows are commonly seen around Diamond City.
 * Crows can often be found perched on the roofs of the houses in Covenant.

Appearances
Crows appear only in Fallout 4.

Bugs
Crows cannot be killed by melee attacks, including gun bashes, even if on land.
