Vampire Bat Species in Arelia | World Anvil

Vampire Bat

The Vampire Bat is a relatively small creature in relation to the large amounts of fear it instills, with its body typically being no larger than a human thumb. The ones most people think of in terms of size are actually the Fruit Bat. That said, there is magic available to make that particular fear a reality fairly easily. Regardless, these creatures are quite the fascinating lot. Like all other Bats, Vampire Bats use echolocation in order to navigate.    Vampire Bats are found in both tropical and subtropical regions like those found in the Ten-Thousand Deaths, the Sano Confederation, and the Underdark. They can adapt to living in both humid and dry climates such as the Kalahari Empire. Like most bats, vampire bats are nocturnal, spending the daylight hours roosting in hollow trees, caves, mines, and even derelict buildings in colonies that can be more than 1,000 members strong. Other types of bats also tend to inhabit similar environments, but different species tend to give each other space and not interact with each other directly.
