  The Croak is a species of bird found through-
  out most regions of Mort. They are avian scaven-
  gers feeding on Carrion and refuse. It derives its 
  name from the deep throaty call it makes when 
  disturbed or hungry. They are often referred to as 
  ‘flying rats’ as over the years they’ve become as 
  numerous and bothersome as the urban rodent. 
  The Common Croak averages 26 inches in 
  length, and 2.8 pounds. In Downtown regions 
  they typically have jet-black plumage but in the 
  deeper areas of Lower Downtown they are mostly 
  albinos.
  Croaks have large serrated beaks, which they 
  use to pry away flesh and tear off chunks of meat. 
  They gather in large numbers around the messi-
  est areas of Downtown where they can find the 
  greatest abundance of food. Even in great flocks 
  of 30 or more the Croaks pose little threat to Op-
  eratives, they are skittish creatures and will quick-
  ly disperse when alarmed. While they are not 
  hostile Croaks are nonetheless opportunistic as 
  the next scavenger and may attack the wounded, 
  unconscious and inebriated (many a Downtown 
  drunk has woken to find his eyes pecked out and 
  a few fingers snipped off).
  Downtown Shivers are often able to track and 
  locate murder victims by the massed assembly 
  of Croaks drawn in by the decomposing matter. 
  Some Shivers even go as far as to rear Croaks 
  from chicks as domesticated pets and trackers.
  Croaks in Downtown have only limited flight 
  capabilities having spent their entire existence in 
  cramped confined spaces. They can usually only 
  flap for a few yards either to reach their perch or 
  to evade capture. 
  ‘Cannibal Croaks’ can be found in CS2, they 
  are twice the size of a Common Croak and are 
  very hostile. They congregate in ‘murders’ of 80 
  or more birds and are aggressive enough to mob 
  Shiver Stingrays, devouring those inside.
