Cave Bat
A small, fast-moving bat that attacks in screeching swarms.
Leathery wings flutter in the torchlight, casting jagged shadows across the cave walls. Cave Bats roost in colonies of hundreds, hanging in dense clusters from the ceiling like living stalactites. Individually they are little more than a nuisance — a quick bite and gone. But they never come individually. Disturb one and the whole colony drops from the ceiling in a shrieking black cloud. Experienced miners wear thick leather hoods and keep their mouths shut.
