A jet-black corvid with a nasty beak and a reputation for heralding bad luck. Most ornithologists consider this a baseless stereotype; the rest are still recovering from a series of staggeringly unlikely accidents.

Useful Info

Ravens are ominous corvids with the ability to inflict doom upon unsuspecting adventurers. They appear mainly in the Lair, but can also rarely spawn in groups from a shambling mangrove.

Tips & Tricks

• Ravens should be a priority target that one uses consumables to get rid of as quickly as possible, as allowing it to live for too long could result in getting a devastating Bane.
• Ill Omen requires a line of fire to affect you, so any sort of obstruction (walls, statues, other enemies) will prevent them from Dooming you.

History

• Ravens were re-added in 0.34, this time with the ability to cause your Doom.
• Ravens were removed in 0.17. They had two weak attacks and no other distinguishing features.
