In Danish folklore, a valravn (Danish "raven of the slain") is a supernatural raven. The ravens appear in traditional Danish folksongs, where they are described as originating from ravens who eat the bodies of the dead on the battlefield, as capable of turning into the form of a knight after eating the entire heart of a child, and, alternately, as half-wolf and half-raven creatures. … No folclore dinamarquês, um valravn (dinamarquês “corvo do morto”) é um corvo sobrenatural. Os corvos aparecem em canções folclóricas dinamarquesas tradicionais, onde são descritos como originários de corvos que comem os corpos dos mortos no campo de batalha, como capazes de se transformar na forma de um cavaleiro depois de comerem todo o coração de uma criança e, alternadamente, como criaturas meio-lobo e meio-corvo.

Scandinavian tales and creatures

Valravn are created when a raven eats the heart of a warrior who was slain in battle. The raven gains the knowledge of the warrior and the ability to shift into human form. These creatures perform malicious acts such as tricking people and leading them astray.

NACHTKRAPP

In German folklore, the Nachtkrapp (“night raven”) is a giant, nocturnal raven-like bird. Similar legends exist in Austria, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Poland, and Russia. The Nachtkrapp leaves its hiding place at night to hunt. If it is seen by little children, it puts them in his bag and takes them away, or abducts them into its nest and devours them. The Guter Nachtkrapp (“good night raven”) is a rare benevolent version of the tale, who enters childrens’ rooms and gently sings them to sleep.
