Raven claw
Answer:
TALON
Hint:
["Think of the sharp, curved part of a bird of prey’s foot—often used for gripping or hunting. Eagles and hawks have them too."]
Explanation:
"Raven claw" points to "talon" because a talon is the sharp, hooked claw found on birds of prey like ravens. The clue is straightforward—no wordplay or hidden meanings—just a direct reference to the part of a raven’s anatomy used for gripping or hunting. If you think of a raven’s foot, the talon is the first thing that comes to mind.
