The Ravenian

The Ravenian is a level 43 elite wight mini-boss found in Scholomance. He is one of the few known wights in the pre-Wrath game.

Strategy
His abilities are physically oriented, including a cleave, sunder (-1440 ac per appliance) and knock away. He also does a trample that will hit all nearby players. At five sunders, the tank will be at -7200 armor, and the healer certain to oom if he hasn't already.

His room can be used later to prevent a wipe, simply because undead cannot swim and his room is filled with water.

Loot
The Ravenian has a chance to drop one of the following items. It is not guaranteed, however, that he will drop anything at all.

Cataclysm
The Ravenian appears in the Battle for Andorhal where he is killed by Horde players. His Alliance counter-part is Rattlegore.

Trivia
His name may be a reference to the poem 'The Raven' by Edgar Allen Poe, though given the description that he devours students in the Scholomance who fail to be diligent in their studies, it may just as well be a play on the word ravenous.
