Fan Casting Creepy Crows in Sort by Tropes

In most of their fictional appearances, crows, rooks, and ravens are scary birds. They are often associated with death, danger, and even evil. In Fantasy and Horror works, ravens and crows are often depicted as spies, Familiars and Mooks of the Big Bad or as Feathered Fiends in their own right. The Haunted House or the scary Derelict Graveyard often has crows or ravens hanging about. Some works depict them as being neutral in morality, but still associate them with death, such as having crows or ravens act as servants of a death god.
