Craws are bird-like creatures that carry spears in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and its Nintendo Switch remake. Members of this species make up most of the Robbo Thieves, which is located in the east side of Rogueport and has an ongoing feud with the Pianta syndicate.

"Craw" is possibly derived from "crow," either being a corruption of the proper name or a reference to the Scottish slang term for the bird, which is also "craw." It could also refer to a bird's crop, which is part of many birds' digestive tracts.

The name "Craw" is never actually used; however, it is implied since the Dark Craws' design is based after them.
