At [[Unseen University]], they have been somewhat transformed (like certain [[Gaspode\|dogs]] and [[rats]]) by the ambient magic.

	One of these ravens appears in {{RM}}, as [[Reg Shoe]]'s only sentient listener while Reg is trying to raise consciousness with an impassioned speech to the dead in the cemetery at Small Gods. It is perhaps hoping for Reg to awaken something with a serviceable eyeball it no longer needs, which will spare it all that tedious digging. In the meantime, like any other resident of Ankh-Morpork, it is enjoying the street theatre, and just this once might be inclined to utter, or hint at uttering, the n-word, purely for its entertainment value...

"''Sometimes I just feel like giving up-''"

The raven cleared its throat. Reg Shoe spun round.

"''You say one word''," he said. "''Just one bloody ''word''...''"

('''Corgi PB, p217'''}

The thing about ravens and eyeballs was an accident waiting to happen in [[Dunmanifestin]], where [[Blind Io]] dispensed with the services of the traditional ravens when they just couldn't help themselves.

Ravens have also been used by pioneering broomstick pilots as [[Goodie Whemper|in-flight black-box recorders]].
