'''Ravens''' are small and very common [[Creature|birds]] who are found in almost all [[biome]]s in the game, where they appear in flocks of anywhere between 2-10 individuals. They are benign and do little but fly across the area aimlessly, rarely if ever paying mind to [[dwarves]] or other creatures, and even if they attack, they are unable to deal any significant damage to anything with so much as clothes on. Due to their tiny size, they are not [[butcher]]able if killed by a [[hunter]]. All ravens are born with Legendary [[skill]] in [[Climber|climbing]].
 
 
 
Ravens can be captured in [[cage]] [[trap]]s and [[Animal trainer|trained]] into cheap [[pet]]s. They are useless for a [[meat industry]] due to giving nothing but a [[skull]] if trained and butchered, but can be a minor source of [[egg]]s (who are nonetheless surpassed by all domestic birds).
 
 
 
Some dwarves [[Preferences|like]] ravens for their ''intelligence''.

Ravens have a decent pet value, though they sometimes have the disconcerting habit of tapping on your [[bedroom|chamber]] [[door]]s.
 
 
 
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 raven|giant wild ravens]]). [[Unfortunate accident|She will appreciate it]].
 
 
 
Despite what insane hat crafters may say, a raven is completely unlike a [[table|writing desk]].
 
 
 
Note that testing has proven that in reanimating [[evil]] [[biome]]s, undead raven swarms can absolutely live up to their grim reputation.  Necromancers or evil biome revivifying ravens, even without being giant, are [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=108371.msg3235825#msg3235825 existential threats to a whole fortress], as are nearly any mid-to-large size flyer.
