Murkrow (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Murkrow is a small {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a single pair of wings|bird Pokémon}} with black feathers. Murkrow's shaggy, feathery tail bears the resemblance of the end of a broom, and has a small, short, red rod-like beginning segment of it. Murkrow has a crooked, yellow beak that resembles a witch's nose, a feather-crest that resembles a witch's hat and semi-circular eyes with red pupils. Murkrow's neck seems thin in comparison to the size of the head it supports, with an extension of feathers on its neck like a collar. Murkrow has four toes on its yellow feet, three forward and one backward.

Females have a smaller feather crest.

Being a {{type|Dark}}, it has most of the abilities and attributes that are standard to them. It also has an effect of unluckiness about it, but it mostly applies to its opponents. It's also possible to train one to repeat words like a real world parrot (as seen under [[Team Rocket]]'s ownership), though {{p|Chatot}} is more famous for this ability. Murkrow and {{p|Honchkrow|its evolution}} are also the only Pokémon that learn {{m|Quash}} by leveling up.

Murkrow have a fondness for anything that's sparkly and has been known to steal things such as jewelry from people and hide them in all sorts of secret locations. It is these kleptomaniac tendencies that make Murkrow rivals with {{p|Meowth}}. Whenever a Murkrow finds itself being chased, it will lead the attacker to a dark mountain trail where the foe is bound to get itself lost. In the anime, it is said that when a Murkrow flies over someone's head late at night, something bad will happen.
