Trained Raven

These omnivorous birds are cunning and opportunistic scavengers. Capable of solving simple puzzles to retrieve desired items, ravens gather at the periphery of civilization, raiding it as needed when they're not hunting in the wilds. Ravens are known for trickery and often trained to further this instinct. Trained ravens will wait for an opening and peck their foes in vulnerable spots.

Cunning A raven can use simple items as tools, such as poking a stick at an opening to tease out a piece of food. They're also quite adept at stealing objects. A raven can't use Thievery to Palm an Object, Disable a Device, or Pick a Lock, but it can use Thievery to Steal light objects that it can carry in its beak or talons or to accomplish other relatively simple tasks.

Sidebar - Related Creatures Raven Traders

Given enough time to develop the relationship and establish what you want, it's possible to engage a raven in a sort of trade. Placing a small, shiny object where the raven can take it might entice it to grab the prize and fly off, returning 3d6 minutes later with something from its own stash. Convincing a raven to trade requires a successful DC 20 Nature check to Command an Animal and, of course, a raven who has the inclination to trade with you in the first place.
