Ravena

**Ravenas** are fictional creatures produced by GMA Network for the Mulawin saga. They appear in every installment of the franchise.

## History

Since the humans polluted the Philippines, specifically the forests where Mulawins live, a group of renegade Mulawins that was lead by Ravenum didn't agree to have peace with the humans and were later kicked out of Avila.

Ravenum later created his own kingdom known as Halconia located at the mining site of Mt. Apo. After many years, his members including himself transfigured and turned into what they call Ravenas.

For years, Ravenas wanted to rebel against the Mulawins.

During the events of *Mulawin the Movie*, the Ravenas had sided with the Hathors in the war against the Mulawins and the soldiers of Lireo, along with Ybarro (representing Encantadia).

After the deaths of Rafael, Rashana and Tuka and the fall of Halconia, Uwak-ak and Siklab are the remaining Ravenas left. Siklab mysteriously disappeared since the death of his lover Magindara, while Uwak-ak is later shown to be fully grown and lives in Avila with Tagaktak, uniting Mulawins, Ravenas and humans peacefully. According to Tagaktak in the final episode, the Ravena population will slowly grow when Uwak-ak will eventually gain a spouse.

## Types of Ravenas

There are two types of Ravenas. They were known as the **full-blooded Ravena** and the ***Tabon*** or **half-blooded Ravena**.

### **Full-blooded Ravena**

A full-blooded Ravena has a *palong* (cockscomb) on their head and have red eyes. Their wings are strong. It has some colors like orange, red, and black. They have facial markings on their faces. Rashana is the only full-blooded Ravena who doesn't have facial markings.

### **Tabon**

Tabons are half-blooded Ravenas and half-blooded mortals. Unlike the full-blooded Ravenas they don't have a palong and have black eyes. A few Ravena Tabons have facial markings such as Ribay, while others do not have facial markings such as Gabriel and Uwak-ak.
