- A small, foreboding black bird that feeds on carrion. It is social, very intelligent, and knows how to use tools.
Ravens are relatively benign birds that appear in flocks in most biomes. Ravens are often too small to be butchered, but can be a source of eggs if captured and tamed.
In combat, they are unable to deal any significant damage to anything with so much as clothes on, but the incessant pecking of a consistent swarm of them can greatly annoy targets without means to fight back against flying creatures, and can utterly tear to shreds small animals such as weasels and dingoes.
This article or section has been rated D for Dwarf. It may include witty humour, not-so-witty humour, bad humour, in-jokes, pop culture references, and references to the Bay12 forums. Don't believe everything you read, and if you miss some of the references, don't worry. It was inevitable. |
Ravens have a decent pet value, though they sometimes have the disconcerting habit of tapping on your chamber doors.
Also, a high-ranking female Noble may require a tower full of ravens to keep as a symbol of her nobility. To satisfy her request, make sure you devoid the tower of any mean of escape, and only use the magnificent wild ravens (or even better, giant wild ravens).She will appreciate it.
Ravens were sponsored by the generous contributions of the Bay 12 community.
