I've never really taken too good a look at raven's feet... But I haven taken a good look at chicken feet, since I keep them as pets, and snuggle them. They're pretty cuddly little animals, they really want to be snuggled.



Anyway. Chickens have pretty big scales, thick too. Probably for protection, since they use their feet to dig around for bugs. And roosters use their spurs for fighting...



Your depiction of the scaled legs on this beast makes me want to draw chicken feet. Inspiration~
