==Overview==
Raveners are capable of burrowing under the ground for long distances and moving over all manner of terrain at alarming speeds. They have spade-like [[Scything Talon]]s for digging, snake-like bodies for agile movement, and thorax-mounted weapon[[biomorph]]s such as [[Devourer]]s and [[Deathspitter]]s.<sup>1-symbiotes. p92</sup> They also bear some resemblance to the Tyranid [[Warrior]] species.<sup>1</sup>
Raveners have highly sensitive auditory and visual senses that can detect a broad range of vibrations and energy bands, allowing them to hear small tremors on a planet's surface and also giving them the unique ability to "see" energy-forms emitted by Vox transmissions, sensor-stealth technology and even [[Teleport Homers]]. They can effectively hunt prey by detecting an ungaurded signal and tracking it back to its origin. Thus the enemies technology is turned against them, and any concealed outposts or infiltrators are not hidden from a Ravener.<sup>1</sup>
