Nachtkrapp
The dreaded Nachtkrapp is the source of many terrifying folk tales among the northern nations. Appearing as a giant raven with empty eye sockets and ragged holes in its wings, the Nachtkrapp exclusively hunts humanoids and only prowls at night.
It can cause disease with a touch from its talons, and many believe that making eye contact with its deathly sockets causes instant death.
