Ravens first appear in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and its remake, ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'', in the level [[Shifting Platforms Ahead]]. They can be found walking around large floating globes resembling the moon. If they run into [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]], they'll knock [[Baby Mario]] off his back. Yoshi can defeat Ravens by stomping on their heads, or by throwing an [[Yoshi Egg|egg]] at them, but they can't be eaten. The [[Raven (chick)|chick]] variants, however, can be eaten, but Yoshi will swallow them automatically without making an egg.

A large Raven named [[Raphael the Raven]] is fought as a boss on the moon over [[Raphael The Raven's Castle|his castle]]. A [[Raven (chick)|small version]] of this enemy is considered a normal Raven in the Player's Guide.

Ravens make a return appearance in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. In the game, they act mostly the same way as they did in their past appearance, making squeaking noises as they walk, but turn around to pursue Yoshi if he is behind one. Here, they are immune to all of Yoshi's attacks, and Yoshi will be hurt if he attempts to jump on one. They appear in the [[The Tall Tower|Tall Tower]] stage, alongside [[ComBat]]s. [[Melon]]s are commonly found on the rocks that Ravens occupy.

====''Yoshi Topsy-Turvy''====
[[File:YTT-Raven Artwork.png|frame|left|Artwork of a Raven atop a ledge in ''[[Yoshi Topsy-Turvy]]''.]]
Ravens appear as enemies in ''[[Yoshi Topsy-Turvy]]'' within the [[Forbidden Pop-Up Book]], which is where the game takes place. They stand about as half as tall as Yoshi, and are always continuously walking. They are not affected by [[gravity]], which is a primary focus of the game. Likewise, they are able to walk along walls and across the ceiling. Sometimes, they move around wall corners, but occasionally will also simply walk back and forth. [[Yoshi]] can jump on their head or swallow them to defeat them. If Yoshi bumps into the side of a Raven, he will lose three points from his [[Health Meter]]. Ravens are most commonly seen during the [[Tale of the Spirit of Power]] and the [[Tale of the Spirit of Kindness]] missions.

Ravens return as enemies in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', only in the level [[Eggstraordinary Terrain]]. Overall, they act the same as in their previous appearances in the ''[[Yoshi's Island (series)|Yoshi's Island]]'' series. However, upon eating a Raven, Yoshi will automatically ingest it and turn it into an egg.

[[Melon]]s are commonly found on the rocks that Ravens occupy.
Ravens reappear in ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'' with the exact same behavior as in previous games, where they only appear in [[Spinwheel Shuffle]]. Here, their bodies are made from upside-down balloons. One of the many costumes available for Yoshi is a small moon, complete with a Raven on the top. Additionally, five Raven blimps appear as [[List of crafts in Yoshi's Crafted World|crafts]] on the flip side of the level. In the level called [[Ride the Stars]], there is a constellation of a Raven seen on the front side. There are also blue-framed Raven picture crafts found in another level called [[Skulking Around]].

In ''Paper Mario'', a friendly group of five Ravens can be encountered on [[Lavalava Island]]. These Ravens (including [[Raphael the Raven]] himself) help [[Mario]] and his party reach [[Mt. Lavalava]]. This games also gives Ravens have their own language (which mostly consists of the word "caw"), although some are bilingual and can speak in human languages. Unlike other appearances, the Ravens in ''Paper Mario'' have the ability to fly by flapping their feet.
