Nightmare bat
Nightmare bats are hideous scavenger creatures that serve the same role in Hell as vultures do on Golarion. They are hideous in appearance, often looking like some sort of undead, but at heart they are cowardly scavengers.1
Appearance
Nightmare bats look like large, leathery birds of prey. They are completely featherless, exposing their unpleasant leathery flesh, and their wings look more like a bat's than a bird's. Their faces resemble a featherless vulture's, including a vicious-looking beak. Rather than feet, the rear end of a nightmare bat features a long, sinuous tail. From beak to tail, nightmare bats are about six feet in length with a wingspan of about nine feet.1
Ecology and habitat
In Hell
Nightmare bats are normally found only in Hell, where they scavenge to devour evil souls too weak to defend themselves. Despite their fierce appearance, nightmare bats are ultimately cowards and attack only those weaker than themselves, often in numbers to make up for their individual weakness. However, even in large numbers they attack only the weak.1
On Golarion
Nightmare bats arrive to the Universe only as a result of summoning. They love to answer the call of summoners, as it allows them to wreak havoc on a realm full of creatures far weaker than Hell's denizens.1
Abilities
The bite of a nightmare bat is venomous, which helps them to overcome their foes.1
