Not to be confused with a similarly-named monster, the raving lunatick.

The raven lunatic is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first appearing in Dragon Quest III.

It is a green crow perched on top of a human skull, and is the first enemy in the series to be able to attack twice in a single round. Its name is a play on the term "raving lunatic".
