Hmm...Crow...
I created the name Crow because I have always admired birds of the genus
Corvus, which encomp Crows, Ravens, Rooks, and other birds of the sort. Upon doing some research I selected my favorite of the genus, the Carrion Crow.

I have been using variations of the species' name for a few of my creations in the past.
When I joined AvP2, I decided that it would be interesting if a xenomorph were to be spawned from a bird and, since the Carrion Crow is both my favorite and the largest of its species, I selected it as the host for my xenomorph.

And thus I clothe my naked villainy
With old odd ends stolen forth from holy writ
And seem a saint when most I play the devil.
