[edit] Tome Text

Unlike its smaller cousins, the Giant Bat is not strictly nocturnal. Reports of the beasts carrying off prey in the midday sun are commonplace.

Scholars have long debated whether the prodigious size of the Giant Bat is due to the warping effects of Chaos, or some other insidious force. To this day, the cause of the species' unnatural growth is unknown.
