### Traits

- **Mimicry.** Mimics voices and animal sounds; a DC 12 Wisdom (Insight) check spots the imitation.

### Actions

- **Multiattack.** Two attacks, Scratch or Shortbow in any mix; one can be a Beak.
- **Beak (Raven or Hybrid Form Only).** A stabbing beak; a Humanoid it hits makes a DC 10 Con save or is cursed: at 0 Hit Points it becomes a wereraven.
- **Scratch.** Raking nails or talons.
- **Shortbow (Humanoid or Hybrid Form Only).** An arrow from a shortbow.

### Bonus actions

- **Shape-Shift.** The wereraven turns into a raven-humanoid hybrid or a Tiny raven, or back into its human form. Apart from its size, its statistics are the same in every form, except that it flies 50 feet as a raven (walking only 10 feet) or as a hybrid (walking 30 feet) and can't fly in human form. What it wears or carries doesn't change with it. It returns to human form when it dies.
