What made the creature dangerous beyond its mobility was its affinity to an element that had surprised Moon when first demonstrated.
A mid-tier element: Sound.
The Black Raven's screeches were immensely powerful sonic attacks, devastating enough that Moon's ears were perpetually on the verge of bleeding from the constant attacks. The wave-form assaults were like having red-hot needles driven repeatedly through his eardrums while his skull vibrated at frequencies that disrupted concentration and balance.
Despite this agonizing disadvantage, Moon had killed dozens of Heretic warriors who'd foolishly attempted to attack him during their fight. Their corpses now littered the battlefield in various states.
Till now, the Black Raven had been playing its role cautiously from maximum distance, employing its sonic powers as ranged support rather than engaging in direct close-quarters combat where Moon would dominate agile creatures.
