'''Crows''' are a species of birds that appear in several [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] games, usually as part of the scenery, and are usually seen inhabiting dark and gloomy-looking places. Their first appearance as such is ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'', but they only gain a more prominent role in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' as inhabitants of [[Twilight Town]], and later in ''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon'' as enemies. In addition, several species from the ''Super Mario'' franchise, most notably [[Pidgit]]s and [[Crowber]]s, are based on crows.

[[File:PM2 Crow.jpg|thumb|left|120px|A crow in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'']]
Crows appear in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' in [[Twilight Town]]. They appear on trees, and when [[Mario]] talks to them at first, they simply caw. When Mario uses [[Vivian]] and hides under a tree, however, they talk about other things, such as internet stocks and which university their children should go to. Vivian explains that they only pretend to be ignorant when people are around. Only some crows give tips in the game. At one point in the game, the crows make a reference to ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''.


'''Crows''' appear in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', though other crow-like birds appear in the opening of ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''. They appear up on trees, and when [[Mario]] talks to them at first, they exclusively speak in crow language. However, when Mario uses [[Vivian]] and hides under a tree, he will be able to understand what they say. Only some crows give tips in the game. The crows in the game all appear only in [[Twilight Town]]. They are shown to talk about a variety of subjects, ranging from internet stocks to which university their children should go to.
Models of the crows from this game make a cameo appearance in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' among [[Francis]]'s toys.

Crows<ref>von Esmarch, Nick. ''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 14. "'''''TIP''' When you replay this mission, use the Strobulb to flash the crows perched in the trees along the path.''"</ref> appear as enemies in ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'' as opposed to simply being ambient objects in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''. Unlike in ''Luigi's Mansion'' and ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', in which they are tall and stocky, and have eyes on the sides of their heads and black feathers, they are now quite short and lean, and have eyes on the front of their heads and purple feathers. They now also appear in large swarms, whereas in the two aforementioned games, they only appeared in groups of two. They can hurt Luigi, but he can suck them up with the [[Poltergust 5000]] or flash the [[Strobulb]] to defeat them, which makes them drop a [[bill]] or some hearts. Most crows in the game are found in [[Haunted Towers]]. '''Gold crows'''<ref>von Esmarch, Nick. ''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 163. "''Continue to the south end of the Chalet Approach. Search the tree at the bottom of the hill to reveal some gold crows. Flash the birds and search the nearby chest along the area’s south edge. When you’re done, follow the path back up to the Chalet.''"</ref> also appear and fly in a certain direction before disappearing. When the Strobulb is used on one, it drops five bills.

Crows reappear as enemies in ''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]'', along with gold crows, where they act as they did in ''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon''. They also have a swooping attack similar to [[Crowber]]s in the ''[[New Super Mario Bros. (disambiguation)|New Super Mario Bros.]]'' games.
