A Nachtkrapp is a South German and Austrian creature, featured in cautionary tales used to scare children into going to bed. Several versions of the Nachtkrapp exist. In most legends, the Nachtkrapp is described as a giant, nocturnal raven-like bird. In Norse mythology, the Nachtkrapp is depicted with no eyes which if looked into cause death. It is also depicted with holes in it's wings which cause illness and disease if looked at.
