'''Ravens''' are black, flightless birds that seem to be both allies and enemies of [[Mario]]. | '''Ravens''' are black, flightless birds that seem to be both allies and enemies of [[Mario]]. Despite the fact that they are called Ravens, they have almost nothing in common with the aforementioned birds, similar to how [[Buzzy Beetles]] are nothing like real beetles. [[wikipedia:Common Raven|Ravens]] are corvids with sharp, black beaks and wide wings. The Ravens of the ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' series are slow-moving, wingless, with elliptical beaks which resemble more a nose than a beak. The only similarities are the coloring of the birds, the sound they make and, only in ''[[Paper Mario]]'', their ability to fly. | ||

Ravens appear as enemies in ''[[Yoshi Topsy-Turvy]]'' within the [[Forbidden Pop-Up Book]], which is where the game takes place. They stand about as half as tall as Yoshi, and are always continuously walking. They are not affected by [[gravity]], which is a primary focus of the game. Likewise, they are able to walk along walls and across the ceiling. [[Yoshi]] can jump on their head to defeat them. If Yoshi is to come into contact with the side of a Raven, he will lose three points from his [[Health Meter]]. Ravens are most commonly seen during the [[Tale of the Spirit of Power]] and the [[Tale of the Spirit of Kindness]] missions. | |||

Ravens | Ravens act as enemies serving King Bowser Koopa, who was fighting against [[Princess Peach]] this time. ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'' exclusively gave them [[Mini-Raven]]s' qualities and introduced a sub-species known as [[Sad Raven]]s. | ||
