Combat Mobility. Opportunity attacks against a moving murder crow always have tactical disadvantage.
Death Throes. If a murder crow is reduced to 0 hit points, it explodes into a swarm of ravens that continues to relentlessly attack all living creatures within sight. These ravens are undead, and they have tactical advantage on saving throws against being turned.
Eye Rake. If a murder crow hits the same target with its claws and beak in the same round, the target must make a successful DC 13 Dex saving throw or be blinded for 1d4 rounds. If a creature is blinded more than once during an encounter, the condition lasts until the creature is healed of all damage or the blindness is removed magically.

Details
Environment: TemperateOrganization: Solitary
Murder crows are undead avians that haunt cemeteries, graveyards, and charnel houses, where they dig up and feast on carcasses. These creatures arise where the formless souls of birds condense into a single creature—a murder crow. Murder crows attack with their gore-spattered beaks and sinister talons. Rarely does a murder crow face its adversaries on the ground, preferring instead to fight on the wing.
Murder crows might be mistaken for normal crows from a long distance, where their astounding size can't be accurately judged. Standing 4 feet tall and with a wingspan of 9 feet, they can’t be mistaken for normal crows once someone gets a good look at one.
Their tattered feathers are black and carry the stench of death. The eyes of a murder crow are bleak and hollow, showing no signs of emotion or life. There is no indication that the murder crow actually comprises hundreds of smaller creatures until it dies and bursts into a cloud of normal-sized but undead ravens.
