Psyber-Raven

Njal Stormcaller with his Psyber-Raven, Nightwing, perched on his shoulder.

A psyber-raven is a type of Psyber Familiar, a common choice of familiar among the Adeptus Astartes, particularly with Librarians. These dark-winged creatures are excellent for scouting objectives, their keen eyes picking out enemy ambushes and relaying troop positions.^[1]

The bird's brooding appearance atop a shoulder pauldron and its occasional muttering of ominous phrases can be useful side effects as well.^[1]

Psyber-Ravens are known to be used by the Raven Guard^[2] and Space Wolves Chapters.^[3]
