Carrion Crow ❘ 屍肉カラス	Regular Enemy

Description Having feasted on the corpses that litter Yharnam, these hideous birds have become engorged with dead flesh. Though they can no longer fly, they remain highly aggressive and will attack without warning if they detect the scent of blood. Large, jet-black birds that lie on the ground, blend into shadows and can be very hard to spot in dark areas or among the rubble littering Yharnam's streets. They flock together in tightly-clustered groups and are almost never encountered alone; trying to fight too many at once can quickly lead to death, so take care not to walk into a nest of them. If you approach them head on, they'll usually fly into the air to perform a combo with their claws and beaks; this attack inflicts several hits in quick succession and causes you to flinch, which can prove lethal if several Carrion Crows use it on you at once. They'll also sometimes attack you up close with short-ranged pecks, but these are easily avoided by staying behind them and out of their reach. A later variation of this enemy has the head of a Rabid Dog [Image], but attacks in exactly the same way as the normal version. Strategy Jump attacks from outside the range of their flying combo will allow you to strike them before they can react; you can also bait their flying attack and quickstep sideways, positioning yourself to strike once they've landed. Their peck has very short range but is quick and difficult to avoid; the best strategy is to stay to their sides and take advantage of their slow movements to hit them with far reaching attacks or thrown weapons before they can counterattack. Molotovs and Throwing Knives are effective at a distance; sweeping horizontal swings from weapons such as the transformed Hunter's Axe can be used to mow down groups of them from behind if you can sneak up undetected. Variants Basic variant found throughout Yharnam. Variant with Dog Head found in Nightmare of Mensis. Notes All enemies and bosses (except hunter enemies) have 999 frenzy resistance, despite that they are still vulnerable to such status. The only way to see it without modding is to use Shaman Bone Blade on enemy inflicting frenzy to attack others. [test video] In Cathedral Ward on path to shrouded church to Yahar'gul crows have 125 HP and drop 128 Blood Echoes There is a non hostile crow hidden within the group of other crows before Stable in Hemwick Charnel Lane. However friendly Crow will become aggressive if you reload the game nearby.

Pungent Blood Cocktails attract this enemy, making it vulnerable for few seconds. Shaman Bone Blades affect this enemy, making it hostile to other enemies. Don't let them to take off.
