An undead raven swarm is a teeming mass of sinister, rotting, disease-ridden birds that seek to destroy any living creature encountered. A single undead raven appears as a rotting and diseased black bird whose feathers are torn, matted and dirty. Its eyes are inky black.

Undead raven swarms are found in desolate forests, on desolate plains or moors, or in haunted caves and mountains.
