Raven

Ravens are creatures found in the Mojave Wasteland in 2281.

Background
These are one of the few creatures which did not suffer any type of mutation from the radiation of the bombs from the war.

Biology
Ravens in 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 beyond Lord Death, I Dismember You, and a few others which are tied to any enemy. They will explode when shot.

Locations

 * Ravens are common wherever dead or crucified bodies are found. i.e. 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.

Appearances
Ravens appear in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bugs

 * Killing a raven may not give any experience at all.
 * 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 even though your hit did not visually make contact. This makes it possible to kill it with melee weapons.
