The Raven is notorious among the Slavs... There’s a belief according to which the crow's croaking near the dwelling foreshadows all earthly troubles and destruction. Warlocks enslave Ravens to use them as servants in their rituals. The Slavs are sure that Ravens fly over the hut of the warlock who is departing for the afterworld in order to accompany him to the abode of Chernobog. You can run into these birds in the twilight, though you won’t feel delight from such a meeting: next to the Raven there’s always its master…
After a while, the Raven strengthens the bond with its master and that makes him noticeably stronger. With its sharp claws, this creature is able to tear out the chunks of flesh from the victim's body; and with its long beak Raven can easily pierce the skull. In appearance, these beings are markedly larger than their relatives, and hardly anyone dares to tease them. With its size, the Raven embodies the might of his master, with whom he becomes forever inseparable.
On rare occasions, the Raven chooses his own master. The natural wisdom and sagacity of this creature is highly valued by any warlock. Having become a faithful companion, the Raven henceforth never leaves his ally, warning him of the dangers. In battle, this being is more often engaged in distracting the attention of the enemy than directly attacking him.
After living quite a while next to a warlock, the Raven fully unleashes his potential. Massive wings, steel claws and powerful beak pose a serious threat to opponents. Thanks to the internal connection with its master, the Raven gains a strong mind and sharpens his clear-sightedness which save their union from many dangers. During the battle, this creature is keenly aware of how to attack the enemy in the most weak spots, simultaneously distracting and exhausting him.
