Night Bats are large black predatory creatures that live in the Cold hills of the Dark Side near where the warm air still reaches. They are relatives of Daybats. A full grown Night Bat is about half the size of a Keldian, with jet black fur. A Night Bat has four short clawed feet and a pair of leathery wings (all of a Night Bat's exposed skin is actually covered in very fine scales). Night Bats have sensitive noses, large dark eyes, and the ability to echo-locate, giving them excellent senses (Observation 18).

When hungry they fly down into the Twilight lands to seek prey, usually in small hunting groups. They swoop down silently (Stealth 18) from above and attack the heads and arms of their targets with their claws (If forced to land they have A:12/D:10). They are hard to scare off, though burning weapons cause them to take a test of Fear 14 whenever one is damaged or flee. Night Bats are sometimes hunted, since they are fair eating, but their roosts are generally underground, or high above the surface, so that can be very hard. Hunting Difficulty 18.
