Vilderavn
Creature 16 (rare) — fey
In their true form, a vilderavn is a great raven with a wingspan of 6–8 feet. Adaptable shapeshifters, they can change to the fighting forms of a snarling wolf, a hybrid of both wolf and raven, and a tall humanoid in black armor with a massive greatsword. More sinister is their ability to assume a humanoid guise suited to insinuating themselves into the retinues of boastful mortal rulers. With historical knowledge and clever rumormongering, they goad the proud into squabbles, feuds, and ultimate

Aura of Disquietude (aura, emotion, fear, mental) — 30 feet. DC 35 Will
As Frightful Presence, plus a creature frightened by the aura becomes suspicious; it doesn't count any other creature as its ally and can't Aid or flank. On a critical failure, the creature also can't be a willing target for harmless or helpful magic.
Frightful Presence
Reactive Strike — Reactive Strike
Bloodbird (curse, occult) — A creature hit by a vilderavn's melee attack becomes cursed. It takes 2d6 bleed{2d6 persistent bleed damage} that's difficult to stanch.
The DC to stop the bleeding using Administer First Aid is 35, and healing the creature to full HP doesn't automatically end the bleeding.
Removing the curse ends the bleeding.
Change Shape (concentrate, occult, polymorph) — The vilderavn takes on the appearance of a Small or Medium humanoid, wolf, dire wolf, or hybrid with both raven and wolf parts. The vilderavn can only use their jaws attack when in a form with a wolf's head, and their talon attack in a form with raven qualities. They can instead assume their raven knight form: a Medium humanoid in black full plate carrying a greatsword. They can use their jaws or talon Strikes only in a form that has that body part, and their greatsword only in knight form.
Change Shape
Souleater (occult) — If the vilderavn kills a humanoid with a critical hit using their jaws Strike, they rip out and devour the target's heart and soul as part of the attack.
While the target is dead, the vilderavn can Change Shape into the target's form, gaining a +4 status bonus to Deception checks to impersonate the target.
If magic would resurrect the creature, the caster must succeed at a DC 34 counteract check to extract the target's soul from the vilderavn; otherwise, the spell fails.
