Disintegration: Undead ravens disintegrate into dust and feathers when destroyed. Whenever five zombie ravens have been destroyed in a confined space (or 10 in the open), all living creatures involved in the fight must make successful DC 10 Constitution saving throws. The saving throw must be repeated every time another five (or 10 in the open) undead ravens are destroyed. The first failed saving throw causes a creature to have disadvantage on attack rolls against targets that are more than 5 feet away (if the attack is a spell that relies on a saving throw, the target has advantage on the saving throw). The second failed saving throw applies disadvantage to all attacks, regardless of range. The third failed saving throw renders the creature blinded. These penalties last until the affected creature leaves the confined space (or the area) where the fight occurred, or until five minutes have passed.
Mobility: An opponent has disadvantage on opportunity attacks against a flying zombie raven.
Unholy Fortitude: Zombie ravens care nothing about the deities of humanoids, so they have advantage on saving throws against being turned.
Undead Nature: A Undead Raven doesn’t require air, food, drink, or sleep.
Beak. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 1 piercing damage and 1 necrotic damage.
Description
Ecology: Undead ravens are created enmasse by certain necromantic spells. They make excellent aerial scouts for Undead armies and evil wizards, because they can fly tremendously long distances without tiring. Although they aren’t very dangerous individually, they present some danger in a flock. There’s very little to a undead raven, and what there is amounts to little more than brittle bones, feathers, and dust. When they’re destroyed by weapons or spells, they tend to “explode” into small clouds of filthy feathers and choking dust. Kill enough of them in a small space, and the air becomes clouded with obscuring feathers and stinging, burning dust.
Undead ravens do most of their fighting on the "fly", instinctively understanding that this gives them an advantage against foes on the ground. They’ve been known to fall in with flocks of live ravens and fly with them, to make their presence harder to notice by observers on the ground, or to flock around one or several murder crows.
