Suggestion

The Chatham raven is an extinct species of large raven native to the Chatham Islands (New Zealand). Another closely related raven occurred on the North Island and South Island of New Zealand, namely the New Zealand raven (C. antipodum). included in C. moriorum, but is considered a distinct species today.

A reconstruction of the species is in the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, specimen MNZ S.036749.

The Chatham raven was significantly larger than the New Zealand raven, and probably the world's fourth- or fifth-largest passerine. They had long, broad bills that were not as arched as those of some of the Hawaiian crows (C. hawaiiensis). Presumably , they were black all over like all their close relatives. There do not seem to be recorded oral traditions of this species – most of the Moriori people, after whom this species was named, were eventually killed or enslaved by Māori explorers, and little of Their natural history knowledge has been preserved. Thus, it cannot be completely ruled out that like some congeners they had partially white or gray plumage (see also Pied raven).

Remains of Chatham ravens are most common in coastal sites on the Chatham Islands. On the coast, it may have frequented the seal and penguin colonies or fed in the intertidal zone, as does the Tasmanian forest raven (C. tasmanicus). have depended on fruit, like the New Caledonian crow (C. moneduloides), but it is difficult to understand why a fruit eater would have been most common in coastal forest and shrubland when fruit was distributed throughout the forest.

In-game, he appears as a crow the same size as Fjordhawk.

These crows move in groups of five, but since they are migratory birds, they constantly fly to move to different places with their groups.

However, they are extremely vigilant, and if there are carnivorous dinosaurs or players nearby, they will cry loudly, and all of them will immediately fly away at once.

However, when attacked, the whole group becomes hostile and attacks all at once.

This crow can inflict a debuff that reduces defense and recovery when attacking an enemy.

Also, if one member of the pack is killed, it will remember who killed it and will chase it down to get revenge.

If it is a player, even if it dies and respawns, it will still remember the player and may attack that player to get revenge.

Taming method

Real-life crows are known to be the most intelligent birds, and since this crow is also highly intelligent, it is a unique taming method that uses that intelligence.

However, all members of the herd are automatically tamed, so keep that in mind.

Also, even if you tame only one, it is impossible to tame only one, and if you kill a companion, they will become hostile for revenge, so if you tame, it is recommended to tame the entire herd. To do.

First, Ghillie equipment is required. Build a small hut a little further away from the group when you have Ghillie equipment, and set up a food storage in the hut.

In addition, when building a hut, a window is essential, and it is necessary to install a window frame in one place.

However, please do not install doors and door frames for entrance doors, as they will be recognized as entering by the player.

Also, there is only one place to install the window frame.

And don't forget to install the ceiling above to prevent it from coming in from above.

After that, go outside and install the window frames and windows.

In a nutshell, the order is to “install the base” and “all the walls except for the space used for the window frame”, and then “install the ceiling and finally install the window frame and window in the space used for the window frame”.

After that, while watching from outside the hut, check if there are any enemies nearby.

Then they notice the existence of the hut and fly to the hut together with the flock.

After observing the hut, open the window, enter the hut from there, and obtain food from the food storage, which will greatly increase the taming gauge.

And when it comes out of the hut, the player sneaks up and hands over the same food that was in the food storage to complete the tame.

Also, if you are attacked by an enemy, notice the player's presence, or if the hut is destroyed, the taming gauge will be reset, so please be careful.

After taming

Since the entire herd is tamed, it is possible to attack the whole herd, and when attacking, it is possible to give the enemy a debuff that reduces defense and recovery, just like wild animals.

Also, when it detects that there are enemies nearby, it will let out a loud cry to inform the player and the crows in the flock.

In addition, because of its excellent intelligence, by handing tools such as axes, it will automatically collect items, and by instructions from the player, it can steal items from other creatures or other players, At the player's instruction, steal eggs (regardless of whether they are fertilized or unfertilized) from creatures that protect eggs such as wyverns, and watch them instead of the player like a surveillance camera. can do.

By the way, the individual with the highest level becomes the leader, and only the leader can be placed on the player's shoulder.

All members of the herd may follow along while the leader is on the player's shoulder.

However, if the leader dies, the remaining members of the herd will automatically return to the wild, fly away from the spot, and disappear as they are, so it is necessary to prevent the leader from dying. .

At least, the color scheme is mainly black, but even when event colors are applied, it tends to be a blackish color.
Because this creature itself is a prehistoric crow.
In addition, they tend to aggressively attack contaminated creatures, minimizing attacks from contaminated creatures, so they will not die from being defeated by contaminated creatures.
They use their intelligence and knowledge to play well in groups and as a team.
