Abilities

Soulsense 60 Feet — A ravener senses the spiritual essence of living and undead creatures within the listed range. Creatures whose material bodies are one unit with their souls, like celestials and fiends, appear brighter to this sense.
Boneshatter
Frightful Presence (aura, emotion, fear, mental) — 90 feet. DC 31 Will
A creature that first enters the area must attempt a Will save.

Regardless of the result of the saving throw, the creature is temporarily immune to this monster's Frightful Presence for 1 minute.

Critical Success The creature is unaffected by the presence.

Success The creature is Frightened 1.

Failure The creature is Frightened 2.

Critical Failure The creature is Frightened 4.
Void Healing — A creature with void healing draws health from void energy rather than vitality energy. It is damaged by vitality damage and is not healed by vitality healing effects. It does not take void damage, and it is healed by void effects that heal undead.
Ravenous Repast (divine) — Frequency once per day
Effect The ravener husk makes a jaws Strike against a deceased creature that has been dead no longer than 1 minute, was holy, and was at least level 15 in life. The ravener attempts a DC 5 Flat; if successful, they transform back into a ravener with 1 Hit Point in their soul ward.
Void Breath (divine, void) — The ravener husk breathes a torrent of void energy that deals 16d6 void damage in a 40-foot cone (DC 34 Reflex save). They can't use Void Breath again for 1d4 rounds.
