Type: The creature’s type changes to undead. A ravener retains all the base creature’s Statistics and Special Abilities except as noted here. “Ravener” is an acquired template that can be added to any evil true dragon of an age category of Ancient or older (referred to hereafter as the base creature). A ravener is often on the move, changing lairs frequently as its territories become devoid of life.

It seeks only to consume life, be it from wild animals, would-be dragonslayers, or even other dragons. These foul wyrms attract the attention of dark powers, and through the blackest of necromantic rituals are transformed into undead dragons known as raveners.Īlthough its body quickly rots away, a ravener does not care for the needs of the flesh. Yet some seek a greater solution to the problem and decide instead to linger on, hoarding life as they once hoarded gold. Faced with this truth, most dragons vent their frustration on the countryside, ravaging the world before their passing. Most evil dragons spend their lifetimes coveting and amassing wealth, but when the end draws near, some come to realize that all the wealth in the world cannot forestall death.
