If a raven eats the heart of an unburied king or chieftain that died in battle, the raven transforms into a valravn. This transformation gives the valravn great intelligence and superhuman strength, but it often turns them evil and manipulative as well. They are terrible creatures.

Beat...h-h-heartbeat...
I can assure you that I am the only person in the world that looked at seven different valravn OC couples and said "I have the perfect 80s synthpop song for this." I genuinely considered all of these characters' relationships with each other to make sure the stanzas matched up properly.

Raven, carry my woes, my sorrows, black bird. The raven was primarily seen as an ill omen, a messenger of death and grief. It was strongly associated with witchcraft and shape shifting and was often called "the witch bird".
However, in one of the songs of the ancient Finns the raven was also an empathetic helper; a bird you could trust your sorrows with and it would ease your pain by carrying the woes beyond dark waters so that they would no longer bother anyone.

Skeksis concepts Also just an excuse for me to draw creepy birds with teeth. The first one is based on the bearded vulture, and the second one is based on a cormorant.
Okay Demon AU, I guess I had to draw you.
Capella is a baphomet, of course. Corbin is some kind of Valravn/Nachtkrapp mix (I interpreted “holes in its wings which cause illness and disease if looked at” as eyes >3>)
This is definitely an AU, they don’t turn into demons or anything. Their default designs are meant to be in a mundane world, basically parallel to ours.
