“Ok so tell me - WHY WOULD YOU PISS HIM OFF!?”
Yes, that's a Nachtkrapp! A creature from South German folklore! Love how this came out
Raven, carry my woes, my sorrows, black bird. The raven was primarily seen as an ill omen, a messenger of death and grief. It was strongly associated with witchcraft and shape shifting and was often called "the witch bird".
However, in one of the songs of the ancient Finns the raven was also an empathetic helper; a bird you could trust your sorrows with and it would ease your pain by carrying the woes beyond dark waters so that they would no longer bother anyone.

The night is here, the Krapp is near~ Stay at home tonight~ But do I not stay at home he pulls me in his world~
Der Nachtkrapp or Nachtkrabb is a horror figure in children’s stories. It’s common in the southern German folkslore. He’s portrayed as a raven like creature and is said to take away the children roaming the streets at night and devouring them.
Another version is he visits the naughty children at night to take them away and devour them.
