Murkrow (Japanese: ヤミカラス Yamikarasu) is a Dark/Flying-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

Biology

Physiology

Murkrow is a black crow-like bird that shares stereotypical traits with witches. The feathers on its head look like a hat and its tail looks like a broom. Its beak and feet are yellow, and its eyes are red. Shiny Murkrow are purple.

Behavior

Murkrow is considered to be unpopular and are generally viewed as unlucky. Many superstitiously believe that a person will be forever lost in a forest if they follow a Murkrow.

Just like real crows, Murkrow is attracted to shiny objects, and often competes with Meowth and Gible for this reason. They will also give shiny gifts to their Trainers. People who come across either of their stashes will commonly find stolen objects dating back decades. In badlands, they are also known to infiltrate Gabite hoards in search of treasure. Murkrow are often underlings for their evolutions Honchkrow, stealing for their bosses’ hoards. Because they are nocturnal, parents often warn their children to “get home before the Murkrow fly.”

Gender differences

Males have bigger "hats" than females.

Evolution

Murkrow evolves into Honchkrow by use of a Dusk Stone.

Trivia

Murkrow is the opposite of Togetic. Murkrow brings ill fortune and Togetic brings good fortune, because the Fairy and Dark-types don't get along with each other. The same about them is they have 405 stat total, their evolutions are Flying-type, and they both take a stone to evolve.
Despite Murkrow's tendency to steal things, it can learn Thief only through a TM.
Early designs shows that Murkrow originally had a pointy hat and a slightly differently shaped tail, as seen in the Gold and Silver Beta.

Origin

Murkrow is based on a crow with stereotypical traits of witches. It is likely based on the concept that crows are considered to be unlucky. The fact that it collects shiny objects are also seen in real crows.

Etymology

The name "Murkrow" is derived from the words murky and crow. It could also be a combination of the words murder and crow, since a group of crows is called a murder. The "mur" in its name may also come from Mercury, the Roman patron god of thieves (among other things).

Yamikarasu is a combination of yami (darkness), and yatagarasu, the crow in Japanese mythology that is said to be the embodiment of the sun.
