ABOUT

This large vampire bat has a nasty glare in its eyes. Bat-witches are large bats that have learned vile sorcery.

They tempt noble beasts to ill, looking to ensnare them in moral traps that causes their downfall. Bat-witches will happily stalk their prey invisibly, hiding above their target and whispering wicked thoughts of cowardice, hatred, and rage.

Seduced by Darkness. It is perhaps not surprising that communities of beasts have their own bad apples. Bats are particularly susceptible to this corruption and more than a few have been seduced by darkness in exchange for magical powers. They reserve their worst curses for the supposedly noble beasts like lions, tigers, and bears, whom they hold in disdain, jealous of their power.

Thorn in the Paw. Bat-witches are a particular scourge of Gugu’s Forest, where they tempt tigers to ill will. They arise whenever animals gather in large groups, and he dark forces that bat-witches swear allegiance to encourage them to sow distrust in the beast communities.
