Couterière corbeau

Avis sutura

Bird

Couturière corbeau (avis sutura) is a crow-like creature. It can be observed as both a youthful male or female. Where the feathers on the bird's body would be, is scraps of fabric clinging to the skin. While it shares many similarities to that of a crow, it is about 2x the size of the average crow.
Like a crow, it has a particular interest towards things that capture its eye. During the initial discovery of the creature (see below), it was assumed that Couturière corbeau particularly liked clothing. It will use the talons on its feet to tear the seams of clothing it considered left behind and abandoned. Most of its sightings have been after it has broken into closets within homes, and it doesn’t have any particular choice between fabric or style. It is theorized by scientists that it dresses itself with the stolen fabric.
Couturière corbeau has not had a sighting since 1939, and it is unknown if there are any left on this planet. The first sighting of it was spotted by French psychologist Louis Martine in 1837, and in his journal he described the creature as “particularly terrifying”. In 1838 he collaborated with American scientist Dr. Edwards to find and document the creature. The exhibition lasted a total of two years, and both Martine and Edwards managed to gather enough recordings to give us the information we have of Couturière corbeau today, recording its habits and drawing it when they could. Martine was the one to give it its name, which directly translates to Crow Seamstress.
