Game	Shovel Pirate

Crows are enemies in Shovel Pirate. They are found in all graveyard levels.

Physical appearance

Crows have a dark gray body with a blue-gray underbelly. They have a pair of black eyes that are shaped like thick lines that move from the side of the head inward down towards their beak. Their beak and two feet are orange, and their feet are separated into two segments by a black notch on each one. They have pointy wings and a round head.

Behavior

Crows are encountered perched on trees and are initially stationary. If the pirate moves a close enough distance in front of a crow, it will fly towards them, then off the screen. Crows will fly in a U-shaped parabola if the player is close enough but lower than them. If the player is in close proximity to a crow while across from them on another branch, the crow will fly in a straight direction towards the pirate.

Strategy

Crows can damage the pirate if the player remains still while the crow flies. Crows can be defeated with a single hit from the shovel. The player can defeat a crow while it is flying towards them or while it is idle on the branch if approached from behind. Some crows may be situated near springs, where the player can boost upwards to attack crows or avoid the crow's flying attack.
