New Oe/BX/1E Monster: Kraben

Before you say it, of course this creature is inspired by the three-eyed raven that appears in Bran's dreams in Game of Thrones. (BTW, I believe in the books it's actually a crow.) But I thought a 3-eyed raven would be more interesting in the role of spy rather than simply a symbol or as just a dreamworld familiar.

DESCRIPTION Krabens are a species of three-eyed ravens most often found as the familiars of magic-users and employed as spies. The kraben’s natural stealth makes them perfectly suited for this job, able to move silently and hide in shadows as a 7th-level thief. Their natural intelligence also enables them in this capacity; while they are only capable of speaking their only language, they are able to understand the common tongue, as well as 3-5 common languages (e.g., elvish, dwarvish, etc.) and an additional 1-2 uncommon languages (e.g., trollish, hill giant, etc.) Furthermore, krabens make all their saving throws as a 1st-level magic-user.
