Bat

Bats are a group of wild, flying mammals of generally small size that feed on other small mammals, insects, reptiles, or fruit. Although the majority of bats are small, a few larger varieties exist. Bats are almost all nocturnal.

Description
Most bats are roughly the size of a small bird although larger bats exist. All bats are adept at perceiving their surroundings in the dark though the precise mechanics differ from species, with most bats using a form of blindsight, shadowhunter bats using darkvision, and fire bats projecting light around them.
