Crows (カラス karasu), also karasu (), refers to any animal within the genus Corvus in the family Corvidae. This genus includes species called crows (or true crows), ravens, rooks, and jackdaws. Out of all groups of birds within this genus, ravens resemble and are often misidentified as crows, to the point that in some languages (including japanese) the distinction doesn't exist. Crows are considered one of the smartest animals on earth due to their learning capabilities and ability to make tools. In the Touhou Project, crows can be found within Youkai Mountain near Tengu territory, and hell ravens can be found in Former Hell.

Crows in Touhou

Crows appear in flocks close to Youkai Mountain and seem to follow orders of Aya Shameimaru. They also appear in an unknown place (location of Stage 2) during the events of 東方封魔録 ~ Story of Eastern Wonderland, and a blue variant is present inside Reimaden around that time as well.

Story of Eastern Wonderland

Crows appeared as a general enemy on stage 2 and the the Extra stage of Story of Eastern Wonderland. Despite their bat-like appearance, they were officially referred to as "crows" (からす) in the strategy guide. They'll come scrolling down towards Reimu Hakurei and Genji, shooting small white danmaku. They are trivial to deal with, but if playing on Lunatic, they'll shoot danmaku as return fire if defeated. They also re-appear on stage 4, coloured in blue.

Mountain of Faith

Crows as a stage enemy first appeared on stage 4 of Mountain of Faith. After defeating Momiji Inubashiri, a large group of crows will fly over the screen. Before encountering Aya Shameimaru, they'll come in large groups, shooting yellow danmaku at the player.

Scarlet Weather Rhapsody

Crows re-appear in Scarlet Weather Rhapsody as Aya's familiar. They only appear in the spell card Pelting in the Night, where once triggered, a calls of murderous crows will attack the opponent. The attack delay is lengthy, allowing easy co-ordination. Since they are just normal crows, they flee when the opponent attacks them.
