Raven

Ravens or Crows are creatures found in the Mojave Wasteland in 2281 and the Commonwealth in 2287.

Biology
Ravens in the Mojave Wasteland have relatively the same appearance as ravens from before the Great War. They seem to be one of the few creatures to be visually unaffected by radiation. Ravens have distinctive black feathers. They are not considered an enemy and will fly away if the Courier tries to get near it (approximately 10–15 feet).

Characteristics
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 towns and settlements.
 * They are a large number of them around Big Horn Saloon and around Boulder City ruins and the surrounding area.

Appearances
Ravens appear in Fallout: New Vegas, and Fallout 4.

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 and "dismembered" even though your hit did not visually make contact. This makes it possible to kill it with melee weapons.
