Dire Bat
Bat, U Medium Animal
Level 2 (+2)
"No, I don’t care that they were ‘more scared of us than we were of them’! Look at this place! It’s going to take weeks to clean it up, and I’m pretty sure the rest of the village is in shambles as well!"
——Tolvaren, Gnome Cleric on the subject of a Colony of Dire Bats
The Dire Bat is a much larger version of a common bat, ranging about 5-7 feet from wing tip to wing tip, and weighing up to 250 lbs. Other than their size, they observe all the normal habits of their smaller brethren, the only difference being that they are slightly more aggressive due to their size. On occasion, they are known to attack and fly away with smaller creatures such as dogs and halflings, confusing them with insects that are a more normal part of their diet. Perhaps the real danger of these creatures is that they still tend to fly in colonies, much like other bats. Due to their bulk, a group of these mammals swarming into a populated area can create a canopy of destructive blackness, potentially battering structures and undefended humanoids to death.
