The stark raven is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first introduced in Dragon Quest III.
It is a large raven that carries around a skull as a makeshift weapon.
Characteristics[edit]
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 X, since they are first encountered in the Netherworld.

Stark ravens make their first reappearance in the main series before XI retroactively and are strengthened a bit, being encountered at the start of Version 5. They can perform a War Cry and attack with Skeletoss or spewing forth blazing fire.

After their long absence from the main series, stark ravens appear once again as enemies in the beginning of the adventure.
