A raven

Ravens are a species of bird found on Azeroth and Outland. The ravens of Outland seem to have a special connection with the arakkoa, with many ravens serving the various veils. A subspecies of raven is the dread raven, which the Raven God Anzu is the father of. The former vrykul Vydhar states that not only are the ravens of Haustvald filthy, they're foul-mouthed and rude. They insulted at least one adventurer by insulting them and their lineage.

In Kul Tiras, ravens are used for sending messages.

In the RPG

This section contains information from the Warcraft RPG which is considered non-canon.

Ravens are glossy, black birds that measure about 2 feet long with wingspans of about 4 feet. They combine both claws into a single attack. They are non-predatory. They are solitary and live in temperate forests on Azeroth. Ravens in cold climes are under some competition with storm crows, but are not completely shouldered out.
