As the name suggest, the Giant Bat is a variety of very large chiropteran, in size as massive as a lion. To the surprise of their opponents, a Giant Bat is nearly as nimble on the ground as it is in the air- its leathery wings fold up neatly, and can be used to gallop about on. Its hind feet are somewhat small, but very dexterous. Though poor at understanding speech, giant bats are quite clever, and can be taught to fight melee combatants with a sword or other weapon held in their hand-like hind-feet. They may carry a light rider on their backs, and have been used as war-beasts by dark elves, and on occasion hobgoblins.
