Terror Crows : 1d20 NPC Table of The Urban Masters of Flight And Nature

File:Carrion Crow (Corvus corone) (5594567723).jpg

 There are exceptional and rare crows that occur in nature as an example of loners, vagabonds, and birds of an incredibly cagey intelligence.  These birds may attach themselves to parties as NPC support and friends. In  food and company these creatures will exchange information, act as  information about the local environment, and function as a liaison.
They are anything but ordinary birds however. These crows have double the normal hit points for their species and have been blessed by the gods with 2 extra points of intelligence. Should one of these creatures be struck down in abuse or anger. The person  will bring down a curse upon their heads.
These creatures often find themselves at the center of events of horror or terror and have an undeserved reputation as harbingers of evil and murderous circumstances. In all other respects they are ordinary crows
