The Raven Mocker or Woman of the Woods is a shapeshifting bigfoot like creature of the Cherokee people of the Appalachian Mountains.
Abilities and hunting behaviors[]
As legend states, this creature acts as a witch who watches over the people in the form of a raven. After a specific victim is chosen; usually an elderly member who is in a sickened or dying state, they are then eliminated. The Raven Mocker takes to the sky in a fireball or other similar light-show and dives upon its prey.
The witch will complete the hunt by performing a ritual involving removing the victims heart seemingly without any incisions or marks.
Other legends[]
