I had to look it up — a gore crow or gorcrow is a carrion crow and it’s called that because if its diet.

However, the first result on Google, excerpted for my benefit, was this:

> Gore crows are a form of Dead Hand, involving any number of normal crows killed by a Necromancer, then imbued with a spirit from Death. This may be one spirit shared among the entire flock, or simply a single crow with a single spirit. The more crows share a spirit, the more quickly the corpses erode.[0]

And we wonder why people believe crazy shit!

Corvids are all over mythology, their obvious intelligence and association with death, especially livestock, is ripe for making myth. It is unfortunate that they were maligned as the cause of death instead of following and cleaning up after it, humans have been unnecessarily cruel to corvids for a long time.
