An Eldritch Raven in Dungeons & Dragons is a mystical, otherworldly creature that combines the attributes of a raven with the unnatural influence of eldritch powers. These creatures often serve as manifestations of dark forces, typically tied to the Far Realm, a plane of existence beyond the material world that is home to incomprehensible and often terrifying entities. These ravens are not mere animals, but rather entities imbued with strange and otherworldly magic.

Eldritch Ravens are often associated with beings like Great Old Ones, who are gods or ancient powers beyond mortal comprehension. These ravens act as their servants or agents, delivering messages, serving as spies, or carrying out their masters' inscrutable plans. The presence of an Eldritch Raven is typically a sign of ominous events, as they are harbingers of chaos, madness, or unnatural occurrences. They might be encountered in areas where the fabric of reality is thin or where the influence of the Far Realm has begun to seep into the world.

In terms of behavior, Eldritch Ravens exhibit intelligence far beyond that of ordinary birds. They are often seen communicating through cryptic caws or even telepathic messages, though their communication may not always be easily understood by mortal minds. The creature's eyes might glow with an otherworldly light, and their feathers may have strange, shifting colors, further emphasizing their alien nature.

Eldritch Ravens can be formidable opponents if provoked. Their abilities typically involve dark magic and psychic powers, including the ability to induce madness or manipulate reality in subtle ways. They may use illusions, mind control, and other eldritch effects to unsettle and disorient their foes, often serving as spies for more powerful beings. In some cases, these ravens may also be used by powerful warlocks or cultists as familiars, extending their influence and abilities into the mortal realm. Their presence often marks the beginning of larger, far-reaching events tied to the eldritch powers that govern their existence.
