Valravn (Nintendo Switch)

"If you don't see a threat, it doesn't mean there isn't one."

Time for tea!

A legend of the European and the Northern lands, this creature would instill terror in the hearts of the children who would not slip into bed in time. Certain tales claim that it’s terrible form bears holes in the eyes and wings, which would spread ill fortune, disease, and even death to those unlucky enough to stare into them. Inktober day 21, Nachtkrapp!

Quick thingie to illustrate one of the novel published in the furry fanzine I’ve been organizing with friends. I’ll probably share infos about it later ! Stay tuned ;D

When you hear the Old Church bell toll and a sad wail echo through the forest, do not approach. For the Weeping Raven is there, grieving for all she lost.

It is best not to disturb her, lest you want to join her in sorrow.

There. He . IS

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.
