Hushed Crow
Corrupted: purple glowing eyes, greyed, ragged feathers, purple veins, a beak bleached bone-pale, a jerky head and a faint purple mist. It mantles its wings to threaten. Flocks of three that dive and peck.
Weak Hushed, and the first sign of the corruption.
Every frog gets the same experience for it, whatever your own level (only your stamina changes it: half again when rested, half when worn out). When several frogs hurt it, they share it by how much damage each did; a party with shared experience on gets 20 % more, and 10 % more again for each different calling in it.
Where and when
The broken cart and the dead tree at the edges of the grove's clearing. On the West Road and on Harrowfield's Old Harrow they are stronger (level 4 to 6).
How it fights
It hovers with its wings high and its eyes flaring, then dives, leaving a purple streak. On the ground it pecks. Like all the Hushed, it hears spells cast nearby.
