Dread Raven

A Dread Raven is a species of giant Bird, native to the world of Draenor, all though in the non-alternate Draenor, they are primarily extinct, currently. While once native to Draenor only, they are now seen outside of Draenor's span, such as on Azeroth. On Draenor, they are known to make up alot of Arrakoan society acting as some of the primary mounts of the Arrakoa. Dread Ravens where once lead by, and descended directly from Anzu, though are currently lead by Anzu's consort, Ka'alu.

Dread Ravens take the appearances of gigantic Birds with navy and dark blue feathers (generally), and yellow beaks. They sometimes also bear sets of armor that connect to a saddle in order for one to drive a tame Dread Ravne.

There are also a differentiated type of Dread Ravens, the Corrupted Dread Ravens, corrupted by Demon Blood; whom are significantly more hostile and violent, and also a complete change of color-scheme appearance.

History
Ages ago, the Raven God Anzu disappeared mysteriously, evidently into the shadows, though his children, the Dread Ravens still lived on, near the Spires of Arak. Some time later, Anzu, the Raven God, disappeared after unable to fight the Sethe's Curse of Flightlessness and left his Consort, the Raven Mother Ka'alu to be the new leader of the Dread Ravens. The Dread Ravens inhabited the Spires of Arak for a while, living mainly in peace together.

In the alternative universe of Draenor, the Dread Ravens survived until the Azeroth Military forces of the Grand Alliance and New Horde invaded the Dark Portal. It was then some of the Dread Ravens where taken to Azeroth to be useful to the races of the planet, though some others still live to this day happily in the Alternate Draenor.

Though in the current universe of Draenor, now Outland, they've become primarily extinct after the events of the Burning Crusade.
