Nightwing

Nightwings were a type of nightshade, horrific undead monsters of evil and darkness.

Description
Nightwings appeared as nothing more that bat-shaped darkness, but they had a wingspan and weighed.

Abilities
Like other nightshades, nightwings possessed a desecrating aura but were averse to sunlight.

Nightwings in particular could drain the magic from items with but a touch, and they had a number of spell-like abilities as well. They could mimic the spells contagion, deeper darkness, detect magic, haste, see invisibility, and unholy blight at will; confusion, greater dispel magic, invisibility, and hold monster thrice per night; and cone of cold, finger of death, and planeshift once each night.

Additionally, once time each night a nightwing could summon a number of undead: either 5-12 shadows, 2-4 greater shadows, or 1 dread wraith.

Combat
Nightwings attacked from the sky, and made liberal use of haste in combat.

Ecology
Nightwings were native to the Plane of Shadow. They spent most of their time hunting on the wing.

Like other nightshades, they sometimes acted as servants of Shar.
