NOTES:
One of the most if not the most intellegent birds in it's class, the Shadow Crow are a mysterious species that have been known to "Spy" on prey or so the legend goes. As a hatchling, the crow gains sight. During the growing into a young aviator, the crow studies the darkness surrounding it. Since sight was the first sense the inherited, it's best for the Shadow Crow to be raised in the dark, for the lights can easily harm their eyes. As the crow begins to get stronger, the mother feeds it fruits, mice, and nightshade. The nightshade is what gives these crows the ability to form into a mist-like shadow of their former self.
As the Shadow Crow comes into adulthood, it's mind has become the strongest thing in it's entire body. The crow then realizes that it's bretheren are experiancing the same issue, Freedom. As the cycle goes, the Shadow Crow kill their parent using their power against her. The Crow then go their seperate ways, most of them finding their own homes, but the more talented few choose to "Imprint" themselves on humans they deem worthy. If taken in by a human, the crow becomes loyal and learns to respond to names, sounds and if your talented sign language.
