The Stark raven is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first introduced in Dragon Quest III.
Characteristics
Stark ravens are dark blue corvids perched ominously on top of skulls, likely belonging to some unlucky adventurer. They attack by grasping the skulls in their feet and dropping it on enemies. These birds are encountered early in the hero's adventure and do not pose much of a threat, except in Dragon Quest X, since they are first encountered in the Demon Realm.
