Karous (カラス) is a vertically scrolling shoot-'em-up developed and published by Milestone Inc.. It was originally released on November 15, 2006 for the Sega NAOMI GD-ROM arcade platform, and was ported to the Sega Dreamcast. Upon its Japan-only launch on March 8, 2007, Karous became the last game to be officially released on the Dreamcast.
The game bears stylistic similarities to Milestone's previous NAOMI GD-ROM/Dreamcast release Radirgy, as they both use cel-shaded graphics and are of the same genre.
