Lore:Bat
Bats are flying mammals often found in caves and dungeons, traveling in groups. They are associated with Vampires, as Vampire Lords can transform into a cloud of bats, or use bats to attack enemies in combat. Tamriel's bats are diverse in diet and appearance. Giant bats are also found throughout Tamriel and certain breeds have been bred for their milk in Ska'vyn and Goldfolly.[1]
