Crebain

Large black crows with evil natures, Crebain have often been servants of evil. They are primarily carrion eaters, and they are not picky about how long their meals have been dead or even about whether they are truly dead yet. They will also mob injured creatures and, if under instructions from some evil intelligence, uninjured individuals travelling alone or lost. Keen-sighted and attracted by shining or brightly-colored objects, they make excellent spies. They are most common on south-central Middle-earth, including Fangorn and Dor 'Wathui, but may be found elsewhere, especially near centers of evil.
