Valravn
Valravn (plural valravn[1] or valravns[2]) are griffon-like creatures found in Lowland Shore. They consume the hearts of lowland kodan cubs to become knights resembling harpies.[2] The meat of valravn is edible and considered delicious by the lowlanders, though it must be slow-cooked over medium heat to prevent it from gaining a rocky texture and becoming inedible.[3]

Notes[edit]
- Though valravn are never identified as griffons, they contribute to the Griffon Slayer achievement.
- They share their model with Hawkeye Griffons.
Trivia[edit]
- In Danish folkore, valravn are supernatural ravens. They are described as being capable of transforming into a knight after consuming the heart of a child.
- In the original Guild Wars, Skree harpies found in Vabbi near Dzalana were accompanied by griffons that were quite similar to valravn, and also considered to be harpies.
