- This mod is the standalone version of my Crow creature, included in my Crows and Ravens mod (LE / SE-AE). If you have the mentioned mod installed, you already have this creature in your game and you don't need to download this mod which only adds the mentioned creature and no other creatures contained in the bundle mod;
- Obviously you should not use this mod together with the mod mentioned above, since the latter already adds this creature to your game, and using them at the same time will double the amount of the mentioned creature in your game, in addition to other possible problems;
- If you use, like and value my work, please consider giving an endorsement. I've worked hard for years to offer you the best of me for free, and the only thing I ask in return is this gesture, which increases my relevance and engagement on Nexus, and motivates me to continue;
- I do not inspect or have any influence over translations of my mods (including those linked directly on my pages), nor do I have any power over patches or add-ons made to my content. So, before using any unofficial add-ons for my mods, make sure they conform to the latest version of my official release, and never use these if they don't. The same applies to Xbox ports;
- In addition to the Nexus, you can also find me on:

"Curious birds with exuberant black plumage, crows are docile and fearless animals, enjoying living close to human civilizations for their own benefit, feeding on leftovers left by their inhabitants. They are animals with a preference for cold, cloudy locations, populating mainly the cities at the north of Skyrim such as Dawnstar and Windhelm, building their nests and resting on top of roofs and other tall structures. They also populate Morthal, scouring its fog-filled marshes in search for food, especially any eventual carcass, be it animal or person.
They are commonly associated with witches, and indeed often used by them as messenger animals, and there are also reports of witches capable of turning into crows. Crows were chased away from Winterhold by the College of Magic because the mages feared that some of the crows could be spies for dark magical organizations, or even transformed witches."

(*Who is Beastmaster Mihail? He is my avatar/persona within the universe composed of all my mods. He is the ingame author who writes the texts that are usually presented as descriptions for my mods. A former monster hunter, now a dedicated scholar, he is planned to be released as an NPC in late 2022/early 2023, doing the same job in-game as my descriptions do on Nexus.)
Technical info: This mod adds crows in two separated ways: 1- The npc crows that walk on the ground. They can be killed and have their feathers looted and used for alchemy. These only occur within the city of Windhelm. 2- The other crows are animated objects, which move part of the bodies (heads and necks), and are positioned on top of buildings and trees, and occur in Dawnstar, Morthal and its marshes, Hagravens' nests, also on Windhelm, and some other places.
Since it is impossible to place npcs on top of trees, roofs, on top of ruins or on statues, the "animated object crows" were absolutely necessary. Also for several reasons of applicability, "animated object crows" cannot be killed or interacted.
One last detail: due to the havok of some objects and its buggy skyrim settings, eventually some of the structures made by hagravens with bone and deer horns may fall, leaving one or another crow floating in the air. This is a vanilla bug, and even without the mod installed, half of the structure falls off leaving the other half floating sometimes, so there is nothing that can be done, although it is something very rare.
- 1 new creature: Crow (in 1 "actor" and 2 "animated object" variants);
- 1 new ingredient: Crow Feathers.
So far no incompatibilities have been found between this mod and other mods.
(OBS- If by chance when installing several of Mihail's mods at the same time you are asked about files overwriting those of other Mihail mods or other authors mods, don't worry because they are just the same files shared between mods. I recommend that on these occasions always give preference to the files contained in my mods, and among mine always give preference to the mod you are installing last.)
The Mihail Monsters and Animals series aims to create and make available to the community the most complete set of creatures for TES 5: Skyrim, implemented in an immersive and unique way, with respect to the pillars of lore. Instead of pathetically just throwing models and textures in the game reusing 100% vanilla mechanics, the creatures made by Mihail have uniqueness and extreme zeal in their idealization and implementation, which will provide you with an experience that you have never had before in this area.
