Morrigans

Morrigans are a fictional species featured in various fantasy settings, often depicted as avian creatures with a connection to death, war, or prophecy. The term itself is inspired by the Morrigan, a figure from Irish mythology associated with fate, battle, and sovereignty. In fictional universes, Morrigans might appear as large birds of prey, such as ravens or crows, possessing intelligence and sometimes the ability to communicate with mortals. Their presence is frequently seen as an omen, either of impending doom or significant change. Some portrayals grant them magical abilities, including shapeshifting or foresight. Their allegiances can vary, sometimes serving as neutral observers and at other times actively participating in conflicts. The specific characteristics and roles of Morrigans can differ greatly depending on the author and the lore of the particular fictional world. They often embody a wild, untamed aspect of nature and the supernatural.
