An opportunistic scavenger bird that is quite proactive in the production of carrion. It has a particularly unhealthy fascination with eyeballs and things resembling eyeballs, such as pickled onions, walnuts and olives. "The Hatter opened his eyes very wide on hearing this; but all he said was 'Why is a raven like a writing-desk?'" -Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

Useful Info

Ravens are fast, flying pests that deal little damage but eat any corpses they come across as they swoop in to attack you. They are actually a welcome sight, as they usually only spawn in a small vault that contains a few pieces of shiny jewellery they've collected, but they can also be found in Jory's Tower of Silence vault and may randomly spawn in the Elven Halls.

Tips & Tricks

• None needed, they're mostly harmless.
