Crow (Fallout 4)

Crows are creatures found in the Commonwealth

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 synths called "watchers," 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 spawn randomly and can sometimes be found in large groups.
 * Commonly seen around Diamond City.
 * Perched on the roofs of the houses in Covenant.
 * In front of the forgotten church.

Appearances
Crows appear only in Fallout 4.

Behind the scenes
The crow model was created by Lucas Hardi, while the crow's visual effects were designed by Mark Teare.

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