The '''Stark raven''' is a monster in the series.

==Characteristics==
Stark ravens are [[Bird family|corvids]] with dark blue plumage 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 adventure and do not pose much of a threat, except in ''Dragon Quest X'', since they are first encountered in the [[Netherworld]].
