Caráco Araqüénn have a complicated history within Kahara. While it is known that their infantile form is a raven, little is known as to what seperates them from an average raven. From what scholars and healers have been able to determine is that, for unknown reasons, surges of Hurunuinë occur from time to time in which masses of fledgling Caráco Araqüénn seek to achieve their next stage. Diviners seem to believe that wayward spirits may have something to do with these events, but have yet to determine how or why.

Caráco Araqüénn, whether fledgling, Haqarëa, or the more powerful Menelqüénn, are incredibly intelligent creatures, even being capable of sentient thought and speech in their adult forms. This can make them easily mistaken for Fhthileanach or allow them to, in some cases, pass for a normal human. While they are generally justifiably regarded as evil creatures not to be trusted, there have been reports throughout the centuries of some which seek to help rather than harm.

Fledgling

Fledglings appear no different than an average raven, with the same black feathered body, legs, beak and eyes. Already being intelligent creatures, it can be difficult to distinguish the advanced intelligence of a fledgling from a normal raven. Much like the average raven, fledglings often travel in flocks of thirty or so, though they may sometimes split from the group as pairs or individuals. Usually these fledglings act as scouts, seeking other fledglings and suitable prey to survive on. What prompts them from this somewhat normal behaviour into descending upon small villages and towns is unknown at this time.

Fledglings are presumed to have a longer lifespan than normal ravens, and some claim to be able to distinguish individuals apart well enough to keep track of their age to be able to reliably distinguish a fledgling from a normal raven.

Haqarëa

Posing as healers, Haqarëa do seem to possess some innate knowledge of medicine, healing magic and anatomy to be able to perform these duties as if they were simply humans. However, much like Sova, they do not possess a secondary pair of limbs with hands, but rather their wings, which when resting appear as nothing more than a feathered cloak covering their bodies, have extended bones with joints at the apex, allowing them to act like hands. Unlike the Sova, Haqarëa retain the ability to fly if needed. Haqarëa are possessed of great strength, stamina and intelligence, making them formidable foes when provoked. However, Haqarëa seem to prefer to seek their prey and operate in secrecy, rather than combating their way through a situation, meaning they will use manipulation to their advantage.
