Raven

Ravens are creatures found in the Mojave Wasteland in 2281.

Background
These are one of the rare creatures which did not suffer any type of mutation from the radiation of the bombs from the Great War.

Biology
Ravens in New Vegas have distinctive black feathers. They are not considered an enemy and they 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 beyond Lord Death, I Dismember You, and a few others which are tied to any enemy. They often explode when shot, which is the most sensible way to kill them as they cannot be reached for melee or unarmed combat.

Locations
Ravens are more common than crows where ever dead or crucified bodies are found. ie Nipton and any other Legion raided site. Ravens are more common around civilized areas, becoming more and more scarce the further the player travels from Goodsprings.
