Widely shunned as a bearer of ill fortune. Upon crossing paths with this creature, I've been told one must chant ”Workrum, Workrum—bad luck, don't come” as a protective incantation.
It searches for shiny things for its boss. Murkrow’s presence is said to be unlucky, so many people detest it.
It has a weakness for shiny things. It’s been known to sneak into the nests of Gabite—noted collectors of jewels—in search of treasure.
Seen as a symbol of bad luck, it’s generally disliked. Yet it gives presents—objects that sparkle or shine—to Trainers it’s close to.
They awaken at dusk and take wing in the twilight, leading to the expression, “Get home before the Murkrow fly.”
It hides any shiny object it finds in a secret location. Murkrow and Meowth loot one another’s stashes.
