The true form of a Carrionite resembled a giant skeletal raven or crow. They were able to assume a more humanoid form but this used a lot of energy, and so they usually had wrinkled skin, large, clawed hands, and sharp canine teeth. The Carrionite Lilith could assume the form of a beautiful young woman, a trick she used to ensnare male victims. (TV: The Shakespeare Code)

  • Their natural form is similar to a spectral raven with long thin fingers and able to fly through the air without wings. They are able to assume a humanoid appearance, but this requires large amounts of energy. Few individuals actually manage to look like ordinary humans; the remaining ones tend to look horribly grotesque with wrinkled skin, long crooked noses and chins and sharp teeth; very similar to the traditional depictions of witches in Human folklore.

Carrionites have the ability to fly, dematerialize and rematerialize, and communicate at distance using a practice similar to scrying. Their witchcraft is described as a form of science, and their magic is just sufficiently advanced technology; all based on the power of the spoken word, with lexical, poetic and acoustic factors all acting as important variables. The result, however, is indistinguishable from magic. They are also able to use a sample of DNA from a being to build what is essentially a functional voodoo doll.
